A series of constitutional changes (in 1970, 1980, 1988, 1993 and 2001) have transformed the country in a federal state made up of three Communities and three Regions. The word “national” covers the three Communities and the three Regions as well as the Federal authorities. The three Communities are the Flemish Community, the French‐speaking Community, and the German‐speaking Community. The three Regions are the Walloon Region, the Flemish Region and the Brussels‐Capital Region. Part I: National reporting guidelines for CSD­18/19 thematic areas 1. Common issues 1.1. Institutional capacity building, National legal frameworks and administrative or other measures of relevance & Participation of Major Groups, in particular women and local communities, in decision‐making and implementation 1.1.1. National sustainable development strategy Strategy Title: National strategy on sustainable development – framework document Strategy website: / Coordinating Body: Federal Public Planning Service – Sustainable Development Coordinating Body website: http://www.sppdd.be Strategy Status: under development according to the framework document adopted by the Inter‐ ministerial conference on sustainable development on December 16th 2005. Date of Adoption: 16 December 2005 Strategy contact: Dieter Vander Beke Additional Information: An inter‐ministerial conference on sustainable development was created, and reached an agreement on a two‐phase work programme (framework document). The second phase is ongoing since 2006. The adoption of a national visionary text was foreseen in the autumn of 2007 but it has not yet been agreed. Nevertheless, the federal government and the governments of the communities and the regions have put in place (or are putting in place) “important mechanisms for enhancing and linking national capacity so as to bring together priorities in social, economic and environmental policies”. 1.1.2. Federal sustainable development strategy Strategy Title: Belgian federal sustainable development strategy Strategy website: http://www.cidd.be Coordinating Body: Inter‐Departmental Commission on Sustainable Development and Federal Public Planning Service – Sustainable Development Coordinating Body website: http://www.cidd.be and http://www.sppdd.be Strategy Status: being implemented according to the legal framework of the Bill adopted by the Federal Parliament on May 5th 1997. Date of Adoption: 5 May 1997 Strategy contact: Dieter Vander Beke Additional Information: The Federal sustainable development strategy established by the Bill on the co‐ordination of the federal policy on sustainable development (SD) of May 5th 1997 is a cycle in four steps. 1. From reporting to consultation: The biennial Federal Reports on Sustainable Developments are prepared by a Task Force on Sustainable Development (TFSD) and published by the Federal Planning Bureau (FPB). These Reports contain analysis of the existing situation in Belgium with regard to the new international developments. They assess the current SD policy conducted until then and trends in case of unchanged policy. They also elaborate long term SD scenarios. The Minister gives them a wide notoriety. A draft Project Plan on Sustainable Development (defines policy principles, objectives and actions) based on these reports is drafted every four year by the Inter‐Departmental Commission on Sustainable Development (ICSD). This ICSD is composed of representatives of all members of the federal government and of all federal government departments, plus six representatives of the governments of the communities and of the regions. Measures are taken to granting the draft project plan the widest possible notoriety and consulting the population in this respect. At the same moment the Federal Council for Sustainable Development (FCSD), an advisory body composed of representatives of civil society that gives recommendations to the Federal Government on the policy to be implemented and advice on the draft federal SD plan. The federal government must give reasons as to why it has departed from it. 2. From consultation to planning: reactions of the consulted population and of the FCSD are taken into account to elaborate the Federal Plan on Sustainable Development that will be adopted by the Federal Government. 3. From planning to implementation: the Federal Plan on Sustainable Development is implemented by the federal departments. This is supported by a team of civil servants, called the “Federal Public Planning Service – Sustainable Development”, and is contributing to the improvement of the daily SD capacity building in the federal departments. 4. From implementation to reporting: the ICSD elaborates annual monitoring reports on the activities of the preceding year. These monitoring reports are essential for the evaluation of the policy by the TFSD. The cycle has already been completed twice (two Federal Plans, five Federal Reports) since 1998. The fifth Report will be published in October 2009. The third Plan has not been adopted and the third cycle of the Federal SD Strategy hasn't begun yet because of the ongoing revision of the bill. 1.1.3. Sustainable development strategy of the Flemish region Strategy Title: Flemish strategy for sustainable development Strategy website: http://www2.vlaanderen.be/duurzameontwikkeling/DOInVlaanderen.htm Coordinating Body: sustainable development working group Coordinating Body website:. http://www2.vlaanderen.be/duurzameontwikkeling/wgdo.htm Strategy Status: being implemented according to the legal framework of the Decree adopted by the Flemish Parliament on July 18th 2008. Date of Adoption: 20 July 2005 Strategy contact: [email protected] Additional Information: The “Flemish sustainable development strategy: pushing back the borders together” (VSDO) came into being in 2005. The Flemish Government adopted it on 20 July 2005. Twelve civil society organisations signed it in September 2006, as did the Association of Flemish Cities and Municipalities and the Flemish Association of Provinces. The sustainable development coordination unit coordinates the implementation of this strategy. This unit is part of the staff service of the Flemish Government, which in turn falls under the services for general government policy. It works together with all policy areas of the Flemish government. An official sustainable development working group contributes to this effort. The VSDO came into being after extensive consultations with the local and provincial authorities and five civil society organisations. The seven priorities of the VSDO are: poverty and social exclusion; the greying of the population; climate change and clean energy; mobility; town and country planning; management of natural resources; public health. In addition, it also brings administrative aspects to the fore. Concrete projects will be proposed for twelve cross cutting issues. Specific attention will also be paid to cooperation with all actors involved. The Flemish government considers sustainable development to be an inclusive policy. This means that each policy area must implement the VSDO. Furthermore, consultation is provided for cross cutting issues. The Framework Decree for Sustainable Development, adopted on 18 July 2008, gives a legal framework to the Flemish sustainable development strategy, which guarantees continuity in the sustainable development policy. 1.1.4. Sustainable development strategy of the Walloon region Strategy Title: / Strategy website: / Coordinating Body: DGARNE Coordinating Body website: http://environnement.wallonie.be/ Strategy Status: under development. Date of Adoption:2010. Strategy contact: [email protected] Additional Information: In April 2006 the Walloon government signed an agreement with a sustainable development consulting firm to draft a regional sustainable development strategy. This strategy, which is being worked out, will have to meet at least the following requirements: offer a response to the main challenges and questions raised by putting sustainable development into daily practice in the Walloon region by 2015; include the achievements and

  • Provision of School Places in the Flemish Community of Belgium
    OECD Reviews of School Resources: Flemish Community of Belgium 2015 © OECD 2015 Chapter 3 Provision of school places in the Flemish Community of Belgium This chapter presents the organisation of the school offer and the provision of school places in the Flemish Community of Belgium, including the provision of special needs education. It describes the existing setup of schools and school buildings as well as the distribution of students across these institutions. It examines how demographic developments are influencing the demand for school places in different parts of the Flemish Community, with particular attention to the challenges faced by urban areas in meeting growing demand. The chapter also analyses how parental choice impacts on student enrolment patterns and the degree to which policies to regulate school choice influence the composition of student populations within schools. It places particular emphasis on potential efficiency gains in the provision of school places, giving attention to aspects such as school size, the offer of programme and course choices in the secondary sector, the organisation of schools within educational networks and school boards and the extent of student tracking and grade repetition. The statistical data for Israel are supplied by and under the responsibility of the relevant Israeli authorities. The use of such data by the OECD is without prejudice to the status of the Golan Heights, East Jerusalem and Israeli settlements in the West Bank under the terms of international law. 95 3.

  • Local and Regional Democracy in Belgium
    27th SESSION Strasbourg, 14-16 October 2014 CG(27)7FINAL 15 October 2014 Local and regional democracy in Belgium Rapporteurs: 1 Henrik HAMMAR, Sweden (L, EPP/CCE) Urs WÜTHRICH-PELLOLI, Switzerland (R, SOC) Recommendation 366 (2014) ................................................................................................................... 2 Explanatory memorandum ....................................................................................................................... 5 Summary This is the first monitoring report on the situation of local and regional democracy in Belgium since the country ratified the Charter in 2004. It underlines that the constitutional and legislative foundations of self-government are fully complied with throughout the country and that the scope of local self- government is generally respected, in particular in terms of the protection of boundaries, the conditions for the exercise of responsibilities at local level, local authorities’ right to associate and the legal protection of local self-government. In addition, the entry into force of the Sixth State Reform is welcomed, as is the introduction in 2006 of a procedure for the automatic de jure appointment of s elected in the Walloon Region. The report does, however, express concern about the overlapping of some responsibilities between municipal and provincial level in the French and Flemish Communities. With regard to financial resources, municipalities’ and provinces’ resources are inadequate, especially because of the economic crisis and

  • Chapter 5 the Management and Rationalisation of Existing Regulation
    5. THE MANAGEMENT AND RATIONALISATION OF EXISTNG REGULATIONS – 137 Chapter 5 The management and rationalisation of existing regulation This chapter covers two areas of regulatory policy. The first is simplification of regulations. The large stock of regulations and administrative formalities accumulated over time needs regular review and updating to remove obsolete or inefficient material. Approaches vary from consolidation, codification, recasting, repeal, as hoc reviews of the regulations covering specific sectors, and sun setting mechanisms for the automatic review or cancellation of regulations past a certain date. The second area concerns the reduction of administrative burdens and has gained considerable momentum over the last few years. Government formalities are important tools to support public policies, and can help businesses by setting a level playing field for commercial activity. But they may also represent an administrative burden as well as an irritation factor for business and citizens, and one which tends to grow over time. Difficult areas include employment regulations, environmental standards, tax regulations, and planning regulations. Permits and licences can also be a major potential burden on businesses, especially small to medium-sized enterprises. A lack of clear information about the sources of and extent of administrative burdens is the first issue for most countries. Burden measurement has been improved with the application by a growing number of countries of variants on the standard cost model (SCM) analysis to information obligations imposed by laws, which also helps to sustain political momentum for regulatory reform by quantifying the burden. A number of governments have started to consider the issue of administrative burdens inside government, with the aim of improving the quality and efficiency of internal regulation in order to reduce costs and free up resources for improved public service delivery.

  • 1 the Flemish Parliament
    The Flemish Parliament: a regional parliament in Belgium, a chamber of the national parliament in Europe Luk Van Looy legal advisor to the Flemish Parliament 1. INTRODUCTION National and regional parliaments are the heart of democracy. However, more and more legislation comes 'from Europe'. The main European legislator is the Council of Ministers, composed of representatives of the governments of the member states. In the European legislative process, governments have taken over the power of parliaments. National and regional parliaments have no say in the adoption of European directives and regulations. Since 2009 (Lisbon Treaty) the national parliaments are cautiously involved in the Euro- pean decision-making process, mainly by granting them the authority to assess whether European legislative proposals comply with subsidiarity principle. The European treaties do not grant this authority to regional parliaments, they have to rely on the goodwill of their national parliament to involve them. On the basis of Belgian federalism, this paper explains that regional parliaments of the EU Member States do not depend solely on their recognition in the European treaties to play a European role. Each federal country is architect of its own state structure and is able to actively involve its regions in the European decision-making process. 2. BELGIAN CONSTITUTION SETS ITS REGIONS ON THE TRACK TO EUROPE As a federal country, Belgium is definitely not unique in the European Union. However, Belgian federalism does have certain characteristics that make it unique. To understand the role and powers of the Flemish Parliament in the European Union, a short introduc- tion on some specific features of Belgian federalism is necessary.
