Vaststelling van de begrotingsstaat voor Buitenlandse Handel en Ontwikkelingshulp (XVII) voor het jaar 2026

This Dutch parliamentary procedure concerns the adoption of the 2026 budget statement (begrotingsstaat) for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation, designated as budget chapter XVII. It sets out the planned spending and income for the ministry responsible for export promotion, international trade policy and development aid for the 2026 financial year. The Tweede Kamer (House of Representatives) votes on these figures before they take legal effect. The budget directly affects the ministry's programmes, including support for Dutch exporters, international cooperation and humanitarian and development projects funded by the Netherlands. Civil servants, implementing organisations, and recipient countries of Dutch aid are indirectly affected by the allocations. This summary is based on metadata only, not the full legislative text.
