Provincial Council of Limburg in plain words

What it can't do

Provinces are decentralised parts of a unitary state: their powers come from national law, and the King's Commissioner who chairs the provincial government is appointed by the Crown, not elected by voters.

Constitution arts. 123-132; Provinciewet

What it can do

  • Provincial government within the framework of national law

    Provincial councils regulate and administer the province's own affairs and may be asked to co-govern by national law (Constitution arts. 124-125, 132); the King's Commissioner is appointed by the Crown (art. 131).
