Explanation

Please note: Only the Dutch-language version of the Constitution has legal effect. 

Only a law may stipulate that the government can assign a specific task to the King's (or Queen's) Commissioner. These include, for example:

  • visits to municipalities in his or her province
  • the coordination of civil defence preparations
  • powers in reappointment and dismissal procedures for mayors.
