	Belgian federal government - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The executive branch of the Belgian federal government consists of ministers and secretaries of state ("junior" ministers or smaller departments) drawn from the political parties which form the government coalition.
		The number of ministers is limited to 15, 7 at least from each of the two main communities, and they have no seat in Parliament.
		At the federal level, executive power is wielded by the Cabinet.

	Belgium at the EU Convention Contributions Detail
		It is from this latter point of view that the Belgian government and the Belgian federal parliament considered it important to organise, during the Belgian Presidency, direct contacts with the parliaments of the Member States and the candidate countries.
		Parliaments generally agree that the next Convention should be considered an opportunity to involve parliaments in the future development of the European Union and thus to strengthen the latter's legitimacy.
		One parliament suggested that at the beginning of European Council meetings, similar to the President of the European parliament, the President of the national parliament of the country holding the presidency should be allowed to voice the viewpoints of national parliaments.

	The Flemish Republic
		Belgium’s federal Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt is pressuring the Flemish Parliament to ratify the EU Constitution before the end of this year, which would allow Belgium to join the small group of nations that has already approved the constitution.
		Owing to the Belgian federal structure, however, the Flemish majority is minorised within Belgium, where the French-speaking Walloon minority has half of the seats in government and can veto all decisions in parliament.
		At the western end lies the Belgian parliament and the office of Verhofstadt, whose residence is called Lambermont House — the “Lambermonster.” The VB hopes to slay the two monsters and is not keen on replacing the little Belgian monster by the bigger European one.

	THE BELGIAN FEDERAL MODEL
		Another characteristic of the Belgian federal model is that there is no hierarchy of standards between national or federal law on the one hand and community or regional law (decrees or ordinances) on the other.
		Conflicts of interest between the federal state on the one hand and the Communities and regions on the other, or between these amongst themselves, are brought before the Consultative Committee in which national, regional and community ministers have seats.
		Federal loyalty thus plays an essential role in the Belgian federal model, requiring a significant effort from politicians on a daily basis.

	Brussels Parliament -
		The Parliament of the Brussels-Capital Region, or Brussels Regional Parliament (French: Parliament de la Région de Bruxelles-Capitale or Parlement Bruxellois, Dutch: Brussels Hoofdstedelijk Parlement), is the Parliament of the Brussels-Capital Region, one of the three regions of Belgium.
		The Brussels Parliament role mainly consists in controlling the government of the Brussels-Capital region, approving the budget and creating and passing laws[2].
		Since the 2004 elections the Brussels Parliament is probably the political assembly in the world where the level of representation of ethnic minorities is the highest (near mirror representation) with, out of 72 francophone elected deputies, 12 were Moroccans, 2 Turks, 1 Guinean, 1 Congolese and 1 Tunisian.

	EIRO
		The Belgian government and the trade unions, shocked by a development that closely resembles the Renault Vilvoorde affair, hope that the decision is not irrevocable.
		In March 2000, a group of Belgian and foreign labour law experts and "opinion-formers" issued a call for the abolition of discriminatory differences between blue-collar and white-collar workers, and the creation of a unified employee status for all within the next five years.
		The current Belgian government is heavily influenced by the active welfare state model propounded by the Minister for social affairs and pensions, Frank Vandenbroucke - as evinced by measures such as late 1999's "Rosetta plan" on youth employment.

	EUROPA - IDABC - Belgium close to solving electronic ID cards distrib
		A new bill currently being discussed by the Belgian Federal Parliament is indeed expected to solve the financial problems that would have prevented many municipalities (communes) from participating in the delivery of the cards to Belgian citizens and residents.
		The Belgian electronic ID card was officially launched in late March 2003, when the first cards were issued to a group of civil servants working for one of 11 communes involved in the government's pilot project, and then to the residents of those communes.
		In its effort to speed up the implementation of the electronic ID card, the Belgian Government has decided last Autumn that the new card will be introduced over a period of three years, instead of five years as initially planned.

		The 104th Inter-Parliamentary Conference, held in Jakarta (15-21 October 2000) at the invitation of the Indonesian Parliament, adopted four resolutions, including one on the question "Are embargoes and economic sanctions still ethically acceptable, do they still work, and are they suited to achieving their purpose in an ever more globalised world?".
		The Belgian Group also wished to raise the issue of economic sanctions implemented by States or groups of States in connection with their foreign policy, as such sanctions pose specific problems.
		However, the Belgian Group was not in agreement with this point, as worded in the resolution, because it called for the unconditional lifting of sanctions and in particular without imposing any obligation on the country targeted.

	New social Maribel scheme introduced
		In December 1999, the Belgian federal parliament allocated increased funding for the "social Maribel" scheme, which seeks to promote employment in the non-profit sector through a reduction of employers' social security contributions.
		The current government has decided to increase the "social Maribel" appropriation by an additional BEF 3 billion, and on 15 December 1999, the federal parliament thus allocated some BEF 11 billion of the 2000 state Budget to finance the scheme.
		The increase of the federal budget appropriation for the "social Maribel" was presented as an "adequate response to the unions' concerns" by the three federal ministers involved: Laurette Onkelinx (employment and labour), Magda Aelvoet (health) and Frank Vandenbroucke (social affairs).
