A referendum in The Netherlands is not legally binding for the government.
The same thing happened just a few months ago when the Dutch people voted against the EU association treaty with Ukraine [0].
The government will still push through with the treaty. The EU project is holy and must go on. Jean-Claude Juncker, president of the European Commission said the following on the Lisbon treaty:
"If it's a Yes, we will say 'on we go', and
if it's a No we will say 'we continue'."
He also stated:
"There can be no democratic choice against
