Abstract

According to the Constitution of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Kingdom consists of the Netherlands, Surinam, the Netherlands Antilles and Netherlands New Guinea. The relations between the Netherlands, Surinam and the Netherlands Antilles are further regulated by the ‘Statute’ for the Kingdom, which came into force on 29 Dec. 1954. Each part enjoys full autonomy; they are united, on a footing of equality, for mutual assistance and the protection of their common interests.

  • The Bureau was founded in 1899. Prior to that year, statistical publications were compiled by the ‘Centrale Commissie voor de Statistiek,’ the ‘Vereniging voor Staathuishoudkunde en Statistiek’ and various government departments. These activities have gradually been taken over and co-ordinated by the Central Bureau, which now compiles practically all government statistics.
