Jaarverslag en slotwet Buitenlandse Handel en Ontwikkelingssamenwerking 2016

This Dutch parliamentary procedure concerns the annual report (jaarverslag) and closing budget act (slotwet) for the 2016 budget of the ministry responsible for foreign trade and development cooperation. The annual report sets out how the ministry spent its funds and what it achieved. The closing act confirms the final budget figures and whether spending stayed within what parliament had authorised. The procedure mainly affects the Dutch government and the Tweede Kamer, which uses it to scrutinise past spending. It may also be of interest to organisations and countries that received Dutch trade or development funding in 2016.
