Vaststelling van de begrotingsstaten van Koninkrijksrelaties (IV) en het BES-fonds (H) voor het jaar 2018

The Dutch House of Representatives (Tweede Kamer) is voting on the 2018 spending plans for two budget chapters: Kingdom Relations (chapter IV) and the BES Fund (chapter H). Kingdom Relations covers the Netherlands' ties with Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten, and with the public bodies Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba. The BES Fund pays for public services on those three Caribbean islands. This summary is based on metadata only, not the full text of the legislation. The budget mainly affects the governments and residents of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba, as well as the constituent countries of the Kingdom. Dutch taxpayers fund the allocations, which set the level of support for 2018.
