Vaststelling van de begrotingsstaat van het BES-fonds voor het jaar 2014

This Dutch parliamentary procedure concerns the formal adoption of the annual budget statement (begrotingsstaat) for the BES Fund for the year 2014. The BES Fund is the national fund that finances public tasks in the Caribbean Netherlands, the three special municipalities of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba. The budget statement sets out the planned income and spending for that year, and the Tweede Kamer (House of Representatives) must approve it before the money can be used. This summary is based on metadata only, not the full legislative text. The procedure mainly affects the residents of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba, as well as the public bodies that deliver services there, such as the island governments. It is also relevant to the Dutch central government and parliament, which oversee how the fund is spent.
