The
Staatscourant (Government Gazette) was first published in 1814 under
William I of the Netherlands. Since July 1, 2009, the paper is no longer printed, as the number of paid subscriptions had dropped to around 5,000, stimulated by a European guideline on digitized government and enabled by the 'Wet elektronische bekendmaking' it is now published online at "
officielebekendmakingen.nl" (official announcements) but retains its former name. == See also ==
