Vaststelling van de begrotingsstaten van Wonen en Rijksdienst (XVIII) voor het jaar 2013

This is a Dutch parliamentary procedure to formally adopt the 2013 budget statements (begrotingsstaten) for the Ministry of Housing and the Central Government sector, designated as chapter XVIII. Budget statements set out the planned spending and revenue for each ministry for the year, and the House of Representatives must approve them before they take legal effect. The procedure mainly affects the national government and its ministries, which operate within the approved budget. Indirectly, it bears on housing policy and public-sector employment, as funds allocated to these areas are fixed by this vote.
