Slotwet en jaarverslag Ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken 2009

This is a Dutch parliamentary procedure concerning the 'Slotwet' (closing act) and the annual report (jaarverslag) of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for 2009. The closing act is the legislation that finalises the national budget for a given year by setting the actual amounts spent against those originally authorised. The annual report accounts for how the ministry used its funds and what it achieved. The procedure mainly affects the Dutch government and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, whose spending and results for 2009 are being reviewed. It also matters to the House of Representatives, which uses it to scrutinise public expenditure. Based on metadata only; the full legislative text was not reviewed.
