STATISTICAL INFORMATION. The ‘Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek’ at Voorburg, near The Hague, is the official Netherlands statistical service. Director-General of Statistics: Prof. G. Goudswaard.
The Bureau was founded in 1899. Prior to that year, statistical publications were compiled by the ‘Centrale commissie voor de statistiek’, the ‘Vereniging voor staafhuishoudkunde en statistiek’ and various government departments.
