As a result of no participation from the Netherlands in the Eurovision Song Contest Grand Final the following will take effect:

All contestants keep their number in the official Running Order. There will be NO song in position number 5.

The jury results, received after Dress Rehearsal 2 on Friday 10 May have been recalculated so that the Netherlands will not receive any points. This is why all jury members have to rank all songs from 1 to 26.

For example if the Netherlands was ranked 9th by a national jury in a country the 10th ranked song is now ranked 9th and will receive 2 points and the former 11th ranked song is now 10th and gets 1 point.

No points will be awarded to the Netherlands from the viewing public.

Viewers in the Netherlands are still allowed to vote in the Grand Final and the Netherlands Jury result in still valid.

The EBU will inform all telecommunications partners that the Netherlands is no longer participating, and we will endeavor to block the lines for Song 5. We ask that no one attempts to vote for Song 5. Should anyone try to vote for song 5 their votes will not count but there is a possibly viewers may be charged.

The Netherlands will not appear on the scoreboard.
