6         Conclusions and recommendations

In the CIV’s view a number of issues raised in this report require attention from one or more partners in the chain. This section contains a summary of given conclusions and recommendations by the CIV.

1. The studies mentioned in section 2 show that it is recommended that the parties focus more on the individual supporters who misbehave and/or who agitate behind the scenes. The updated Policy Framework also calls for this individualised approach.
   One police region (central Gelderland) has already taken concrete measures to this end. In the short period that the project has been in operation results are encouraging.

1It is recommended that alongside Arnhem and the two which have decided to follow this approach, more police regions confronted with serious problems with their own supporter groups, should adopt this approach.

2. To date, as far is known the instrument of Administrative detention has not been applied. Emergency ordinances or byelaws are quite often prepared and/or used for actual or expected incidents.

1It is recommended that a study is made into the number of times an emergency decree and/or order is preferred but administrative detention has not been chosen.

3. Apparently there is a lack of coordination in regard to clubs’ practice programmes, particularly in the summer break. There appears to be a sort of “recess euphoria” in regard to opponents’ options.

        It is questionable whether the  CIV is the right body to obtain insights here and

        hence to assume a degree of coordination.

1It would be advisable to have the KNVB more closely involved in the overall practice programmes. It is also advisable that the professional clubs and the relevant police forces share their expertise around games involving their teams with the officials of the local amateur club.

4. The police and the OM are the main parties to input Factual data on games into the VVS. However, other partners involved in games, including KNVB via their auditors, also have information on the games. The KNVB and the clubs can utilise date stored by government while the government agencies (police, OM) do not have access to KNVB and clubs data.

1It would be advisable to take steps to link up all clubs to the VVS and to include club and KNVB information in the system.

5. The area of ticket sales still shows a range of defects. Often clubs are unaware of their potential to regulate ticket sales. Some clubs have their own policy, whether or not influenced by supporters.
   The local authorities are not always aware of potential to impose certain formulas for sales of tickets.

1 It would be advisable to include the following points in the local covenant:
