Title: Inefficient pattern.

Comment:
Once you've found the start, don't keep searching for it again. Common elements should only be specified once. The above pattern simplifies to ^((00\s?|+)31\s(\(?0\)?\s?)?|0)[0-9]{9}$ and parses VERY much faster.
Title: The term 'Dutch' is wrong!

Comment:
The term 'Dutch' is wrong! This is a telephone format from The Netherlands, not 'Dutch'!
'Dutch' is NOT a country but a language which is spoken in different countries (with different forms of telephone numbers).
As such, please do not use such a regexp if you know your users speak 'Dutch'. Their phonenumber pattern might be quite different!
Title: Subscriber number starts with zero?

Comment:
In addition to the former comment it should be impossible to have the subscriber number starting with a zero. The second number of the area code cannot be a zero.
The european service numbers are not taken in consideration at all. They start with 0800, 0900, 0906 or 0909, followed by the optional dash and a service number of minimal 4 digits.
Title: Missing dash

Comment:
The optional dash is not supported here. Phone number are oftenly written with a dash (-) between the area code and the subscriber number. The area code can consist of 2-4 digits, including the leading zero. The remainder of the complete number of ten digits is the subscriber number.
