ROYAL ORDER

In Belgium, a 'Koninklijk Besluit' (Dutch) or 'Arrêté Royal' (French) is a federal governmental decree in the view of practically implementing the application as a law. It is issued by a member of the government, with the formal signature of the king. Its implementation usually begins on the date of publishing in the ''Belgisch Staatsblad/Moniteur Belge'', the Belgian Official Journal.
