Vaststelling van de begrotingsstaat van Koninkrijksrelaties (IV) voor het jaar 2009

This is a Dutch parliamentary procedure concerning the adoption of the 2009 budget statement (begrotingsstaat) for Kingdom Relations, designated as chapter IV of the national budget. The budget sets out the planned spending for the ministry responsible for relations between the Netherlands and the autonomous constituent countries of the Kingdom, namely Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten, as well as the special municipalities of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba. Adopting it authorises the government to spend these funds during 2009. The procedure mainly affects the Dutch government, the Kingdom's Caribbean territories and their residents, who may see their funding and cooperation arrangements shaped by the approved amounts. Because this summary is based on metadata only, the specific allocations and policy changes are not described here.
