Flemish Parliament

The Flemish Council or Flemish Parliament (Dutch: Vlaamse Raad or Vlaams Parlement) constitutes the legislative power in Flanders, for matters which fall within the competence of Flanders, both as a geographic region and a linguistic community. It approves decrees, which are Flemish laws applicable exclusively to the Flemish population. The Flemish Parliament meets in the Flemish Parliament building in central Brussels.
