Health organisations to become part of the public concerned in urban and environmental permitting procedures
Non-governmental organisations dedicated to protecting human health will soon be able, like environmental protection organisations, to qualify as part of the “public concerned” in urban and/or environmental permitting procedures. This will broaden the range of organisations that may challenge a permitting decision, adding a new dimension to future permitting procedures.

Belgium transposes the Women on Boards Directive: a further step towards more balanced corporate governance
On 18 July 2026, the Council of Ministers approved, at second reading, the preliminary draft law transposing Directive (EU) 2022/2381, better known as the Women on Boards Directive. The Directive aims to address the underrepresentation of women on the boards of listed companies and to promote equal opportunities in the appointment of directors. According to the European legislator, a balanced representation of women and men not only contributes to achieving the principle of equality, but also supports better decision-making, stronger corporate governance and greater economic competitiveness.

Faster Permitting Process in Brussels?
The Brussels-Capital Region aims to process urban planning permits and certificates more quickly going forward. A new circular sets ambitious deadlines for Urban, the regional administration for urban planning and heritage. However, these are internal targets, not new legal deadlines. If they are not met, this will not, in itself, affect your permit or certificate application.
