I totally agree with almost everything the new Netherlands bill would impose, but for God's sake don't make it the beginning of the criminalization of prostitution. Don't throw the baby out with the bath water, as so many other countries do.
Prostitution will never end, the demand for it will never end, no matter what you do, and the women who want to be the supply will always be there, supplying. Criminalize prostitution and you drive it underground; then the traffickers have a picnic, every day.
