Jaarverslag en slotwet Provinciefonds 2012

This is a Dutch parliamentary budget procedure concerning the 2012 annual report (jaarverslag) and closing law (slotwet) for the Provinciefonds, the central fund through which the national government distributes money to the Netherlands' twelve provinces. The closing law confirms the final figures for the fund's actual spending and income in the year, compared with what was originally approved in the budget. The procedure mainly affects the provincial governments and the national budget, since it settles how much was paid out to provinces for their own responsibilities such as regional infrastructure, nature, and public transport. It is based on metadata only, not the full legislative text, so specific amounts and decisions are not described here.
