Coordinate Systems used in the Netherlands?

Hello again,
I have a few questions concerning the projection of my layers in MapServer.
I'm using the StreetPro layers for the Netherlands, and from that
documentation I found that I should use the follows as main projection
in my Map File:
PROJECTION
"proj=stere"
"lat_0=52.15616055555555"
"lon_0=5.38763888888889"
"k=0.999908"
"x_0=155000"
"y_0=463000"
"ellps=bessel"
"units=m"
END
But now I also need to project some seperate TAB files (from MapInfo),
and they are shifted to the North-East. Anyone have any ideas how to fix
this problem? If requested I can post a screenshot.
I tried setting this layer projection to a Dutch system, but I cannot
find which one to use (neither can I find which of them are supported by
MapServer ;().
I tested:
+proj=Netherlands Coordinate Systems -- Unknown Projection ID
+proj=NCS -- Same
+proj=latlong +datum=Rijksdriehoekstelsel -- unknown elliptical
parameter name
+proj=latlong +datum=Netherlands National System -- Same as above.
Can anyone provide me some pointers? I have a beautiful working map, but
with my last layer being off by 50 meters, it's kinda useless.
Thanks!
Regards,
