Only 15 MEURO? That is a bargain. Are you sure that is all? No hidden or obfusciated cost?
Such as the PH-GOV. A Boeing 737-700(BBJ). Property of the Dutch government and intended for official government use. But the king is licensed to fly it and the Royal family has unlimited use for private trips.
Or the "Gouden Draak". A "gift" of the Dutch People to the Royal Family but the maintenance of that yaught is done by the Navy.
