		As Belgian state finances are still suffering the consequences of a huge public debt mainly amassed in the 1970's and 1980's, the federal government nowadays has barely any choice other than to elude new budgetary shortfalls at any price.
		Budgetary troubles however do not pose the only threat to the incumbent federal government at the moment, for Belgian trade unions keep resisting the so-called Generation Pact, which has been dominating political discussions in the past couple of months.
		A federal coalition, composed of both Flemish and Francophone social-democrats (SP.A-SPIRIT and PS) and liberals (VLD and MR), came into power after the last federal elections, held on May, 18th, 2003, appointing Guy Verhofstadt (VLD) as the Prime Minister in the Belgian federal government for the second time in a row.

	Digital Media Asia: News - Belgian government adopts draft text of electronic communications bill (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The Belgian federal government has adopted a draft text of the bill transposing EU regulatory framework on electronic communications into domestic legislation.
		The move highlights one of the controversial points in the Belgian federal structure: the question as to whether the federal government can impose the principle of gratuitous rights-of-way for telecommunications networks on the public domain, including the public domain that falls under the responsibility of the regions and of municipalities.
		The federal government has decided to maintain the previously applicable principle of gratuity, thereby confronting the Flemish Region in particular, which adopted a decision in 2002, instituting "retributions" for the use of its public domain (although the region adopted a modification to this decision only last week, it still maintains "retributions" on backbone networks).

		Opposition parties say Dutroux's brief escape underlined the government's inability to reform lax justice and police structures two years after the discovery of the bodies of the child sex victims created a nationwide scandal.
		Dehaene had said his government would not resign, citing the need for a steady leadership now that Belgium was at the crucial stage of joining the European Union's single currency project.

	Belgium: government recognises water as a human right, more development aid for water - IRC International Water and ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		On 19 April 2005, the Belgian federal government has adopted a "water resolution" in which it recognises access to safe water as a human right that should be included in the Belgian constitution.
		The resolution also calls for a significant increase in development aid for drinking water and sanitation, taking into account that access and distribution of water remains in public hands and that developing countries should not be pressurised by international financial or trade institutions to liberalise or privatise their water markets.
		The adoption of the water resolution is the result of a successful campaign initiated in 2003 by 11.11.11, the Coalition of the Flemish North South Movement in Belgium, which represents some 465 NGOs, unions, movements and solidarity groups.

		Both in SA and worldwide, government policy of speeding up the use of information technology to improve service delivery to, and dialogue with, the public, makes it essential that government ensures it is able to use critical software programs in the event that software suppliers should stop supporting their products.
		Among the latest government agencies to enter into such an arrangement is Fedict, the Belgian Federal State Service for Information and Communication Technology, which teamed up with one of the market leaders, Escrow Europe NV.
		Another important reason for embarking on this course is the newly adopted principles of corporate governance, which provide for increased accountability of the government's policy.

		Among the (more recent) reasons for the delay in preparing and adopting the legislation (advanced drafts of which have been available since 2002) is a ruling by the Court of Arbitration relating to the division of responsibilities between the federal level and the Flemish, French and German communities in Belgium.
		The specific issue at stake is the power of the federal government (including the regulatory authority BIPT) to regulate fixed and wireless networks that can be used both for broadcasting purposes and for telecommunications, given that the Belgian constitution divides responsibilities for culture, including broadcasting, amongst the three linguistic communities.
		The Council of State, which is formally to be consulted on all draft legislation, has also endorsed rulings of the Court of Arbitration in its comments on the draft of the bill on electronic communications which was adopted by the federal government in May, 2004.
