Dutch term or phrase: Diastaat
Not sure if this is a typo, since I have a hard time finding any type of explanation for the word. I believe it should have a meaning close to "company management" or something similar. Here is the sentence:

De Diastaat dient, alvorens opdracht te geven voor het onderzoek, een plan van aanpak met betrekking tot dit onderzoek aan de Milieudienst te overleggen.

Reference: Diastaat...

Reference information:
...would indeed seem to refer to a plant for the manufacture of diastatic products, specifically one particular factory in Leyden for the production of diastatic malt. My guess would be that the "Diastaat" is a local nickname for the factory:

"En dan staat er nog de Diastaat. Iedereen is het er over eens dat zo'n bedrijf niet bij een woonwijk thuishoort. Maar ja, de Diastatische Fabriek was er eerder."
http://www.wijkraadstevenshof.nl/index.php?option=com_docman...

"Diastatische Producten is a manufacturer of Maltextract and Maltextract Powder. These products are used as an ingredient in both the Food and Pharmaceutical Industry."
"At our plant in Leiden we produce several different types of maltextract, as well as maltextractpowders."
