Vaststelling van de begrotingsstaten van het Ministerie van Sociale Zaken en Werkgelegenheid (XV) voor het jaar 2013

This procedure concerns the adoption of the 2013 budget estimates (begrotingsstaten) for the Dutch Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment, designated as chapter XV of the national budget. Such budget statements set out the planned spending and revenue for each ministry for a given year, and the parliament's approval gives the government legal authority to spend the allocated funds. The budget covers the ministry's areas of responsibility, which typically include employment policy, social security, labour market programmes and related welfare matters. Citizens, public bodies and organisations receiving funding through these programmes are affected by the amounts approved. This summary is based on metadata only, not the full budget text.
