CBB

CBB is a Dutch administrative appeals court for economic administrative law, including market regulation and certain business-facing public decisions.

What it means in Dutch business

CBB matters when a company challenges regulatory decisions, permits, enforcement, market-supervision measures or public economic-law decisions. For The Polder reader, the term is useful when it explains what must be checked in the Dutch file, who carries responsibility and how a public rule or signal reaches daily business decisions.

The Polder reading

The Polder reads CBB through Governance: not as loose terminology, but as a way to connect regulatory appeals, market supervision, public-law disputes to the decision a company, adviser or public authority has to defend.
