| | Netherlands - Binnenlandse Veiligheidsdienst (BVD) |
 | | The legal basis for the existence and the conduct of the BVD is the "Law of 3 December 1987, containing regulations concerning the intelligence and security agencies (Law on Intelligence and Security Agencies) (WIV, 1987)". |
 | | The BVD maintains permanent liaison on the national level with the Military Intelligence and Security Agency (MID), the Central Criminal Information Agency (CRI), the national government Internal Affairs Division (Rijksrecherche), the District Attorney's Office (OM), the police and other law enforcement agencies. |
 | | Besides that, there is, of course, the classified annual year review, which is exclusively for the Committee for Intelligence and Security Agencies (CIV) of the Dutch Parliament and some privileged authorities (amongst others, The Prime-Minister, the Minister of Home Affairs, the Minister of Defense, the Head of the MID, etc.). |
