Vaststelling van de begrotingsstaat van het Deltafonds voor het jaar 2017

This Dutch parliamentary procedure concerns the formal adoption of the budget statement (begrotingsstaat) of the Deltafonds, the national fund that finances flood protection and freshwater management in the Netherlands, for the year 2017. The Delta Fund supports the national Delta Programme, which aims to protect the country against flooding and secure fresh water supply. Adopting the statement sets the spending authority for that year. This summary is based on metadata only, not the full legislative text. The main parties affected are the Dutch public authorities responsible for water defences and water management, including Rijkswaterstaat and regional water boards, as well as coastal and river communities that depend on flood protection. Because the fund is financed from the national budget, Dutch taxpayers are also indirectly affected.
