[Demographic statistics after the GBA Law is passed].

"The Dutch Ministry of Internal Affairs plans to replace the old written population systems on paper with a new system of decentralized automated population registers (in Dutch this system is called: GBA) on 1 October 1994.... In the summer of 1993 Statistics Netherlands carried out a test to find out whether the GBA messages are appropriate for making population statistics. To do this such messages were forwarded to Statistics Netherlands by five municipalities for three months. The conclusion of the test results was that the GBA system is technically adequate for making population statistics." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
