But according to a story on social media going around, there was a catering owner who announced the closure of the catering industry in recent months would have been outsmarted. According to the story, the owner sold his patio chairs for five euros each, with two beers. The people had their own chair and could drink their beer on it. When leaving the guests donate the chairs back to the café. According to the story, the boas have come and dropped off again because they "couldn't care less." to get up.\" A photo is shared with the story in several messages of a waiter and two boas. RATING: The widely shared photo and the story do not belong together. The Photo is from June 2020 and was taken at a café in Haarlem. This is not the cafe from the story. The claim that the boas did nothing is also incorrect can do in this situation. If this really happened, there are several rules and laws that the boas could have enforced. FACTS: The shared story sounds like a clever loophole, but or it the question really remains. Except for this exact description of the seat sales by the operator and the interaction with the extraordinary investigating officers (boas), there is no other message on social media or in to find media that confirms the existence of the initiative. There are none to find messages from someone who bought such a chair or who, just like the man in the shared story, passed by the terrace and recorded or described it. In any case, the boas and the waiter in the photo with the story have none to deal with. This photo appeared on the website of June 1, 2020 Volkskrant and was taken by photographer Arie Kievit. Dpa contacted Lapwing. He confirms that he took the photo in Haarlem on June 1, 2020. The café in the photo is Café Koops. The manager of this café informed dpa that the photo was indeed taken for an article last year. He says not to circumvent the applicable corona rules and not to have anything to do with it alleged story about the seat sale. Willem Gijtenbeek, police spokesperson for North Holland, also leaves a comment response by email know that the method in the story is not known to them. "It is also incorrect to claim that the boas could not respond to citizens drinking beer on an improvised terrace," says Gijtenbeek. "In principle, drinking alcohol on public roads in this area is not allowed permitted\".Whether alcohol is allowed to be consumed on the street varies from person to person local authority. A catering entrepreneur with a terrace must have a permit to sell alcohol here to be allowed to serve. According to the Liquor and Catering Act, an entrepreneur with such a license to only issue alcoholic beverages for private use terrace or in your own café, not for consumption elsewhere. Where a catering establishment may have a permit to serve alcohol, this does not apply to an individual. Ruud Kuin also confirms this, chairman of the Dutch BOA Association. \"A permit is issued to a catering business, not to a person with a chair," he says. "The In this story, catering entrepreneur encourages a situation where a terrace arises. This is contrary to the intention behind the emergency regulations.\" According to Kuin, it is not true that the boas would have no basis in this scenario have to act. \"About who would be liable in this situation, you can discuss the catering manager or the people with the chairs," he says. \"But if there are more than two people sitting close to each other, they are personally in violation anyway because of the corona rules. And the catering entrepreneur is at least partly responsible for what goes into it happening near his business. For example, a store is also often responsible for clearing waste for about 25 meters around the case.\" \--- Left: Facebook message I: ) Facebook post II: ) Article from June 2020: background/enforcement-of-the-rules-at-the-terraces-if-necessary-closes-the- boa-de-tent~bc6e5b61 (archived: ) Café Koops: Regulations on alcohol on the street: ) Liquor and Catering Act, Article 12: ) About Dutch BOA Bond: Contact the dpa fact check team: factcheck-netherlands@dpa.com powered by dpa-newslab | Imprint | Privacy | About:
