Topic: Walloon Parliament

	Scottish Office Publication
		Consideration is given to the legislative process in two of those bodies, the Parliament of the Walloon Region, and the Council of the Brussels-Capital Region (which latter, notwithstanding it is based on the Brussels area, is nevertheless a fully-fledged legislative assembly).
		Generally, committees of parliament are considered to be an important part of the policy making process, with a range of powers in connection with the progress of legislation and functions of inquiry and investigation.
		The manner in which legislation passes through devolved Parliaments varies immensely, as one might expect, and it is not possible to suggest that there is one particular form of process which is "typical" of the devolved parliament, in Europe or beyond.

	Parliament - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		The parliament, which is also referred to as the Estates of Scotland, the Three Estates, the Scots Parliament or the auld Scots Parliament (Eng: old), met until the Acts of Union merged the Parliament of Scotland and the Parliament of England, creating the new Parliament of Great Britain in 1707.
		The British Parliament is often referred to as the "Mother of Parliaments"—in fact a misquotation of John Bright, who remarked in 1865 that "England is the Mother of Parliaments"—because the British Parliament has been the model for most other parliamentary systems, and its Acts have created many other parliaments.
		The Parliament of the United Kingdom was originally formed in 1707 by the Acts of Union that replaced the former parliaments of England and Scotland - the Irish Parliament was subsumed into the Imperial Parliament in 1801.

	Philippe Destatte - Wallonia identity : The search for an identity without nationalist mania - 1995
		Was it not the Minister-President of the Walloon Government, Robert Collignon, in a speech given to the University of Mons-Hainaut on 14 February 1995, who stressed that, even if we are far from the total isolation of the first Walloon militants, the fact remains that the Walloon identity is still not sufficiently clear.
		It is true that the Walloon movement, which has never stopped affirming that Wallonia is part of the French cultural area, has never made this cultural struggle a priority, being more concerned to struggle against its status as a political minority and the economic decline which was only a corollary to it.
		Since the "Manifesto for Walloon Culture", published on 15 September 1983 by several dozen Walloon intellectuals appears both as a desire to affirm the existence of Wallonia as a State and to build a cultural plan alongside the economic plan for everyone who has chosen to be part of Wallonia and remain so.

		The lack of space, the difference in timing between sittings of the Senate and of the Parliament of the French Community and the geographical fragmentation of departments meant that a solution urgently needed to be found – and had to be close to the Hôtel du Greffe, which was intended to be retained.
		The Parliament could now boast that it possessed not only its own auditorium, modern committee rooms (one of which was, however, located in the historic restored lounges) and reception and meeting rooms, but also a showcase for presenting the regularly-visiting members of parliament, national politicians and foreign delegations to the public and the press.

		In 1998 the Front National lost most of its seats in the federal and regional parliaments, retaining only two MPs in the Brussels regional parliament, one in the national parliament and one in the Walloon parliament, which is dominated by social democrats and liberals.
		The Walloon extreme right lost most of its seats, even in cities where it was considered strongly implanted.
		These were very disappointing results for the hyperambitious iron lady of the Walloon far right, despite an intensive campaign that cost her party a considerable portion of its funds.

		As this was not the case, an agreement was finally reached between the ruling parties of the coalition to solve the legal issues in parliament in the second half of 1997.
		Two fundamental points still need to be tackled by the Belgian parliament: first will the enfranchisement of foreigners be limited to European citizens residing in Belgium who do not hold Belgian nationality and second, whether or not specific conditions will be laid down in the electoral law for the implementation of such a decision.
		For example, the Walloon parliament recently declared its opposition to implementing the exceptions, negotiated by the Belgian government at the European summit in Essen, to allow the refusal of voting rights to foreigners within municipalities where they exceed the Belgian population by 20 per cent.
