Vaststelling van de begrotingsstaten van het Ministerie van Defensie (X) voor het jaar 2017

This Dutch parliamentary procedure concerns the formal adoption of the budget estimates (begrotingsstaten) of the Ministry of Defence for the year 2017. The budget statement sets out the planned spending and revenue for the ministry's programmes, and its approval by the House of Representatives gives the government legal authority to spend these funds during the year. The title refers to a budget item marked '(X)', which in Dutch budget practice usually indicates a supplementary or technical budget chapter. The procedure primarily affects the Ministry of Defence, its armed forces and the programmes it funds. Taxpayers and defence suppliers are indirectly affected, since the approved spending determines available resources for personnel, equipment and operations.
