The Belgian Statistics Act
The Belgian Statistics Act of 22 March 2006 was published in the Belgian Official Gazette on 21 April 2006. Last time Belgium witnessed such a fundamental change to the basic principles of the statistical apparatus was in 1962.
This Act aligns the functioning of Statbel (AD Statistics Belgium) with the latest developments in the field of privacy protection, administrative simplification and data exchange for the benefit of academic research. In this way, it is able to fulfil its central role in federal Belgium's statistical process in a modern, high-performance manner.
