In The Netherlands plastic bags can no longer be given away for free since the beginning of this year (some messy foodstuffs are excepted; e.g., the fishmonger). Shops are free to decide what to charge (mostly €0,10 to €0,25) but the overall effect is that people are (again) getting in the habit of bringing their own reusable bags along.
