Einde Koninklijke predicaten en Hofleveranciers?

Bron: Nieuwsbrief AOMB

Sommige bedrijven voeren het predicaat Hofleverancier of Koninklijk. Een wet uit 1987 regelt het gebruik en de toekenning van deze titel. Het predicaat Hofleverancier is bedoeld voor lokale en regionale ondernemingen van producten en diensten; het predicaat Koninklijk is bestemd voor grote Nederlandse ondernemingen. Volgens deze wet mocht alleen Koningin Beatrix bedrijven aanwijzen die deze benaming Hofleverancier mochten voeren; overige leden van het Koninklijk huis – inclusief derhalve de huidige Koning - mochten dit predicaat niet verlenen.

Nu Koningin Beatrix prinses Beatrix is, is het de vraag of er nog bedrijven zijn die dit predicaat toegekend zullen krijgen. Zal Willem Alexander dit gebruik overnemen middels een wetswijziging? Klik hier om verder te lezen...
