Vaststelling van de begrotingsstaten van het Ministerie van Defensie (X) voor het jaar 2021

This is a Dutch parliamentary budget procedure concerning the formal adoption of the budget statements (begrotingsstaten) of the Ministry of Defence for the year 2021. The budget statement sets out the planned spending and revenue for the ministry's various programmes, and its adoption gives the government legal authority to spend the approved amounts during that year. The title's "(X)" marks it as a numbered budget item in the Tweede Kamer's annual budget process. The procedure directly affects the Ministry of Defence, its armed forces and the programmes funded through its budget. Indirectly, it affects Dutch taxpayers and defence suppliers and partners, since it determines how public money is allocated to defence in 2021.
