Vaststelling van de begrotingsstaat van het BES-fonds voor het jaar 2013

This Dutch parliamentary procedure concerns the formal adoption of the budget statement (begrotingsstaat) of the BES Fund for 2013. The BES Fund finances public tasks on the Caribbean Netherlands islands of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba, which are special municipalities of the Netherlands. Adopting the budget statement sets the planned income and spending for that year, giving the Tweede Kamer (House of Representatives) a formal say over the fund's finances. The procedure mainly affects the residents of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba, whose public services are partly funded through the BES Fund. It also affects the national government and parliament, which oversee the fund's budget. This summary is based on metadata only, not the full legislative text.
