Samenvoeging van de gemeenten Harenkarspel, Schagen en Zijpe

This Dutch national legislative procedure concerns the merger of three municipalities in the province of North Holland: Harenkarspel, Schagen and Zijpe. Municipal mergers in the Netherlands are formally enacted by national law passed by the Tweede Kamer (House of Representatives), which sets out the legal basis for combining the local governments into a single municipality. The residents of the three municipalities, along with their local councils and administrations, would be affected by the change. Any merger typically alters local government boundaries, administrative responsibilities and the organisation of public services.
