Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Belgium is divided into three regions, two of them are subdivided into five provinces each. The division into provinces is fixed by Article 5 of the Belgian Constitution. The provinces are further subdivided into arrondissements. The provincial government consists of three main parts: the Governor, an executive council known as the Permanent Deputation (Dutch: Bestendige Deputatie) in the Flemish Region, or as the Provincial College (French: Collège Provincial) in the Walloon Region, and the Provincial Council (Dutch: Provincieraad, the equivalent of a States-Provincial in the Netherlands), which is elected by the inhabitants of the province for a term of office of 6 years. The Permanent Deputations and the Provincial Colleges consist of seven members: the Governor and 6 Deputies elected by the Provincial Council from among its members. The numbers of seats in the Provincial Councils are proportional to the population of the province.
