Distribution of competences in federal Belgium
Distribution by institution of competences in federal Belgium
Competences of the Walloon region, of the Area Brussels-Capital, the Flemish Area, the the French Community and the German-speaking Communauté are Exclusive competences (without possibility of intervention of the Federal state), which are thus exerted (practically) without possible veto of its share, that it is within the Belgian Federation or on the international scene. That because of the principle seldom applied in the others Federal states in the world (or seldom applied in a so strict way) of the équipollence of the standards. This makes a single federalism in the world of it.
In theory, competences of the areas and communities were to be residual competences, the Federal state being qualified only for the matters which are expressly allotted to him. However, this provision of the Constitution (article 35) will come into effect only when the list of competences of the Federal state is drawn up and inserted in the Constitution. This tiresome task appearing and especially politically delicate, one can reasonably believe that article 35 of the Constitution will never enter into force, the Federal state preserving residual competences and the federate entities of the allocate responsibilities.
