Regels omtrent de basisregistratie ondergrond (Wet basisregistratie ondergrond)
This Dutch bill sets rules for the Basisregistratie Ondergrond (BRO), the national register of subsurface information. The register collects and publishes data on the underground, such as soil layers, groundwater, boreholes and geological models. Standardised, reliable subsurface data supports decisions on construction, energy, water management and environmental protection. The bill is a national Dutch procedure, not an EU legislative file. Government bodies that manage or rely on subsurface data, such as provinces, municipalities, water boards and the national government, would be affected by the rules on registration and access. Engineers, drilling companies, contractors and developers who submit or use subsurface information may also face new obligations or procedures. This summary is based on metadata only, not the full legislative text.
