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.
History
After their creation, the Flemish regional and community institutions were united to form the unified Flemish legislative council, the Vlaamse Raad, now sometimes called Vlaams Parlement.
