Voice over:

COA says that we have built this when 3000 people a week came to The Netherlands.

COA man:

This has been put up quickly, with help from the military and the surrounding cities, since then we have been working there. We have learned a lot and are better prepared now.

Voice Over:

COA can not promise that we don’t need camps this size in the future. A lot of asylum seekers have other, bigger worries, by the way.
