Vaststelling van de begrotingsstaat van Buitenlandse Handel en Ontwikkelingssamenwerking (XVII) voor het jaar 2016

This is the Dutch parliament's adoption of the 2016 budget statement (begrotingsstaat) for the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation, designated as budget chapter XVII. It sets the spending authority for the ministry's policies in that year, covering areas such as international trade promotion and development aid. Budget statements are the formal legal basis that allows the government to spend the approved funds. The main direct parties are the Dutch government and ministry, which may spend the allocated funds, and the Tweede Kamer, which approves them. Indirectly, the budget affects businesses seeking export support, and partner countries and organisations receiving Dutch development funding.
