Bovenaan het openingsscherm van de video staat prominent in beeld het logo van het ministerie van Infrastructuur en Waterstaat. Daaronder staat de tekst:
Op weg naar minder geluidsoverlast voor omwonenden van Schiphol; de balanced approach procedure.
Vervolgens begint de video met een voice-over.
The government wants to find a better balance between the interests of a good international airport and the interests of a healthy, pleasant living environment.
To achieve this, the Cabinet is following three tracks:
- Restoring the legal position of local residents

- New rules for noise and emissions in the future.
We are prioritising tackling noise nuisance for local residents, track 2.
We have to follow European rules for measures that reduce noise nuisance and can lead to fewer flights.
That procedure is called a Balanced Approach.

And have identified various measures to achieve the noise objective.

We also looked in detail at achieving a good balance between the benefits of the measures and their costs.
This led to several packages of measures.
Three packages of measures were submitted to residents, nature and environmental organisations, interest groups, member states, airlines, Schiphol and air traffic control authorities.

The European Commission will issue a recommendation after no more than six months.
The measures of the final package, including the new number of flights, will eventually be formalised through laws and regulations.
After which, the measures can be fully implemente
