Vaststelling van de begrotingsstaten van het Ministerie van Defensie (X) voor het jaar 2013

This procedure concerns the formal adoption by the Dutch House of Representatives (Tweede Kamer) of the 2013 budget estimates (begrotingsstaten) for the Ministry of Defence, designated as Chapter X in the national budget. Budget estimates set out the planned spending and revenue for each ministry for the coming year, and parliamentary approval gives the government legal authority to spend the funds. The direct effect is on the Ministry of Defence and its armed forces, which receive the appropriated funds for personnel, equipment, and operations for 2013. Taxpayers and defence contractors are indirectly affected by how the money is allocated. This summary is based on metadata only, not the full legislative text.
