  • Date is incorrect "In map appears in 1950 only because of that "UNTIL 2018". It's UNTIL 1992 (Civil Code): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burgerlijk_Wetboek Because I don't think that appears in the 1838 one and there's no proof. So SINCE: 1 January 1992 http://www.dutchcivillaw.com/legislation/update.htm https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burgerlijk_Wetboek_(Nederland)"

A more streamlined way to proceed is currently being studied.
