On November 10, 2014 the Decisions on the Merits were published for two Collective Complaints against The Netherlands.

Resolution of the Committee of Ministers CM/ResChS(2015)4 on FEANTSA's Collective Complaint against The Netherlands.
In July 2012 FEANTSA asked the European Committee of Social Rights to find that The Netherlands legislation, policy and practice regarding sheltering the homeless is not compatible with the relevant provisions of the Revised Social Charter (Collective Complaint no. 86/2012).
On 15 April 2015 the Committee of Ministers adopted his resolution on FEANTSA's Collective Complaint against the Netherlands recognising the decision of the ECSR. The Committee of Ministers looks forward to the Netherlands reporting on any possible developments in the issue.
