Brussels new online licensing site up and running
The Brussels (Bruxelles) region of Belgium’s trade licensing website is now up and running, the government has announced.
It said, ‘[T]he Permits Unit, as well as the Brussels-Capital Region in general, have developed this website with the aim of improving transparency and clarity.
‘Controls on imports, exports and transit of weapons and other potentially dangerous products is a key responsibility of the government. A clear and detailed website enables us to communicate to our clients and the Region as a whole in a consistent and accessible manner on how the import, export and transit of controlled goods is regulated.’
The unit says the new website’s most ‘prominent’ new feature of the website is its interactive module, ‘which enables people and businesses to easily check which permit they need, and which documents they must submit to obtain it.
‘This module is one of the first of its kind and very clear and user-friendly. This will make permit procedures more efficient by giving clients a consistent, reliable reference, saving precious time for all parties involved.’
