It is indeed a statement that "we can't do this right now". You don't need the implication you're making; it can literally be found in the 'cabinet's standpoint' (see below for a translation). I have the suspicion that it has something to do with the 'utopic' outlooks that other nations and their presidential candidates have come to suggest: "technologists will find a way to have both security and access".
"At this time, there is no outlook on the general possibility to, for example via standards, weaken encryption products without compromising the security of digital systems relying on encryption. By for example introducing a technical point of access into a encryption product which would enable intelligences agencies to view encrypted files, digital systems could be rendered vulnerable to for example criminals, terrorists and foreign intelligence agencies. This would have negative consequences for the security of communicated or saved information, and the integrity of ICT-systems, which are increasingly of importance in the functioning of society." (second paragraph of 'Afweging en conclusie')
