Report – Review ORET/MILIEV. Assisting developing countries to buy investment goods in the Netherlands

The Dutch programme for development-relevant export transactions, the oret/miliev programme, enables developing countries to procure investment goods or services in the Netherlands. These goods should be destined for commercially non-viable projects that enhance employment and economic activity and protect the environment, though exceptions to the commercial non-viability condition can be made for Least Developed Countries and small projects. oret/miliev supported export transactions have to be partially sourced in the Netherlands, which makes them a form of tied aid.
