The Netherlands is to hold a parliamentary inquiry into its future relationship with the euro amid a growing chorus of scepticism about the single currency.

Dutch politicians voted unanimously for the move, which will examine all options for the euro, including whether it would be possible to withdraw from the euro and, if so, how, according to opposition MPs.

The decision to order the investigation by the Council of State, the Dutch government’s legal adviser, reflects a rising tide of Euroscepticism in Europe, where populist parties are hoping to poll well in elections this year, including in the core eurozone countries of France and Germany.

The inquiry asks the council to examine all the "political and institutional options" for the future of the Euro, listing the advantages and disadvantages, up to and not excluding withdrawal.

Pieter Omtzigt, a Eurosceptic MP with the opposition Christian Democrats who tabled the parliamentary motion calling for the investigation into the currency, is one of a growing number of voices in northern creditor countries attacking the European Central Bank’s money policies.

The demand for a review was prompted by concerns that the bank’s ultra-low interest rates are hurting Dutch savers, especially pensioners.
