Source: Indien de verzelfstandiging van de afdeling in 2016 in zijn plooi valt, zal dit als een afzonderlijke entiteit voorgesteld worden in de begroting 2016 (indiening voorjaar 2015).
Draft target: Should autonomy for the department be agreed upon in 2016, it will be presented as a separate entity in the budget for 2016 (submitted in spring 2015).
Would 'in zijn plooi' mean 'agreed upon' here?
Thanks

Quite important that you change 'submitted' I think!
Another is to drop it altogether, and say "should the department become wholly autonomous by 2016, it will be incorporated as a .."
And another way to read it, I agree with Evgeny, is to consider what's actually happening here: if there are negotiations going on about it right now, then yes, it becomes "...the matter of the department autonomy be settled in.."
