beschikking

Dutch to English Law/Patents Government / Politics
Maybe I've been staring at this sentence too long, but I'm a little confused as to the meaning of 'beschikking' here. Any thoughts? TIA

De Bibob wet biedt namelijk de mogelijkheid tot het weigeren en of intrekken van vergunningen of subsidies (beschikking) als er sprake is van ernstig gevaar dat de gewenste beschikking mede zal worden gebruikt om strafbare feiten of onrechtmatige handelingen te plegen of dat bij het verkrijgen van de gewenste beschikking een strafbaar feit is gepleegd.

disposition

Oxford: the action or result of arranging people or things in a particular way.
Van Dale gives disposition as well.

''Beschikking" is here an arrangement that people are allowed to do something (vergunning) or an arrangement that people receive money (subsidie). The Bibob law provides a way out in cases where the disposition is abused.
