Well, maybe it does, but they don't know it yet :-) There are quite a few laws and decrees for freedom of information (openbaarheid van bestuur, or what Dutch people like to say: "Wob"). That should apply to all the data our governments and government agencies use, so in principle should include the cadastre. So someone could try make a formal request for this... Although I think that they will probably come back with privacy legislation to not release the cadastre information.
