In Belgium, a Ministerial Order (Dutch: Ministerieel Besluit, French: Arrêté Ministériel) is a decision of a minister of the Federal Government. The Belgian Constitution stipulates that the King, in practice the Federal Government as a whole, is responsible for the execution of laws adopted by the Federal Parliament. This is done by Royal Order. For more detailed measures, the minister responsible can act alone by Ministerial Order. Ministerial Orders must be published in the Belgian Official Journal before they can enter into force.
