Budget articles 12 and 13 of the Ministry of Economic Affairs encompass financial policy interventions aimed at stimulating a strong innovation capacity and an excellent entrepreneurial climate in the Dutch economy (for example, the R&D tax credit scheme and innovation allowance, various credit instruments, Top Sectors & TKIs, funding for TNO and GTIs, as well as RVO and Ondernemersplein/KvK, etc.). Together, these articles cover the entire (financial) policy of the Directorate-General for Business and Innovation (also known as Business Policy). This includes non-financial interventions such as legislation and the quality of government action. Every four to seven years, the Dutch House of Representatives is informed about the state of affairs in a policy area. For the aforementioned articles, it has been scheduled that they are subject to policy evaluation in 2015 and 2014 respectively. Due to their interconnectedness, these articles will be jointly evaluated in the period from July 2014 to March 2015.
