Environmental law - Soil pollution - Flemish region

The new Flemish Statute on soil clean-up has been approved by a large majority of the Flemish Council on February 8, 1995. This important Statute will enter into force six months after publication in the Belgian State Gazette, with the exception of a limited number of articles that will enter into force one year after the publication.

It is expected that all execution measures by the Flemish government will be taken in time to enter into force together with the new Statute.

Subsequent contributions will deal with the different aspects of this new Statute.

The content of this article is intended to provide general information on the subject matter. It is therefore not a substitute for specialist advice.
