Vaststelling van de begrotingsstaat van het Deltafonds voor het jaar 2013

This Dutch parliamentary procedure concerns the formal adoption of the 2013 budget statement (begrotingsstaat) for the Deltafonds, the national fund that finances flood protection and water management works in the Netherlands. The budget statement sets out the planned spending and revenue for that year, which the House of Representatives must approve before the funds can be used. The main effect is on national water management, flood defences and the agencies and public bodies that carry out delta works. Residents of low-lying areas benefit from the protection the programme provides, and the budget determines how much money is allocated to these projects in 2013.
