In case you are interested, the Dutch junior education minister Sander Dekker gave a speech at APE2014 in Berlin. It is available here: http://www.rijksoverheid.nl/regering/bewindspersonen/sander-dekker/toespraken/2014/01/28/open-acess-going-for-gold.html
Alhough his drive for OA can be applauded, there is nothing new in his talk, except his intention to invite all EU ministers to try and align OA policy. And the way he dismisses green OA is regrettable. Dekker reiterated that Green OA is cumbersome to find (he probably never uses Google Scholar) and he even suggested that Green OA is not peer reviewed. Jeroen Bosman Urecht University
