Vaststelling van de begrotingsstaat van Buitenlandse Handel en Ontwikkelingssamenwerking (XVII) voor het jaar 2019

This procedure concerns the Dutch House of Representatives' adoption of the 2019 budget statement (begrotingsstaat) for the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation, designated as budget chapter XVII. The budget sets out the planned spending and income for the ministry's policy areas for that year, covering international trade promotion and development cooperation programmes. The budget directly affects the ministry's agencies, international development partners and organisations receiving Dutch funding, as well as Dutch businesses that rely on export promotion and trade support. It does not itself create new laws, but determines how public money is allocated for the year.
