Vaststelling van de begrotingsstaten van het Ministerie van Verkeer en Waterstaat (XII) voor het jaar 2010

This is a Dutch parliamentary procedure to formally adopt the 2010 budget statements (spending plans) for the Ministry of Transport and Water Management (Verkeer en Waterstaat), designated section XII of the national budget. Such budget votes set how much money the ministry may spend during the year on its programmes, including infrastructure and water management. The decision directly concerns the ministry's administration and the public services it funds, such as roads, railways, waterways and flood protection. Citizens and businesses that rely on these services, and the government agencies delivering them, are affected by the approved funding levels.
