Over-regulation is a large problem. It happens here also.
A few years ago, Dutch parliament had forgotten to pass a law on medication. So a lot of medicines suddenly became illegal. Very brilliant.
In case of prostitution, more than half of the prostitution is done by illegal workers from outside the EU, or from the newer member states, who don't have working rights over here.
Of course these women are abused, and don't earn much at all. The money goes elsewhere. And because these women don't have any legal protection and will be deported when they get caught, many of them don't report abuse.
And we needed a reporter to make parliament realize that one of the princesses who tried to marry in the Royal family had been involved with a big Dude of the underworld. The only thing that surprises me, is that the Netherlands do not export bananas.
