So sorry; to me the following line said it all:

"De 7 parameters welke door het NGI worden gepubliceerd (tabel-1) steunen op 
de
‘Coordinate Frame Rotation’ conventie ; als men gebruik maakt van de 
‘Position Vector’
conventie, moet het teken van de drie rotatieparameters veranderd worden 
(tabel-2)."

For the non-Dutch reading audience watching this game from the bleachers a 
translation:
<<The 7 parameters published by the NGI (Table 1) are based on the 
coordinate frame rotation convention; if one uses the position vector 
convention, change the sign of the 3 rotation parameters (Table 2).>>
