The resumption of the works in a select committee has not yet been announced

L e Prime Minister, Charles Michel, leads on Sunday bilateral talks with key ministers of his government to advance budget discussions and several outstanding issues. The resumption of committee work has not yet been announced

The federal government must find 2.6 billion euros to keep the budget in the path agreed with Europe. It is also trying to conclude some files, some of which may be related to budgetary efforts, including the "deal for employment" which aims to address the problem of trades in shortage, it was noted at good source.

On the government's table are other thorny issues: the replacement of the F-16s which has somewhat heated relations between Belgium and France in recent days, the arrival of a 4th mobile operator dear to the Open Vld or the privatization of Belfius to which is linked the indemnification of cooperators of Arco wanted by the CD & V.

Saturday, it was also indicated that certain problems were posed on the side of Finance. The advance payments to corporate tax have increased considerably, but the question arises as to what is the structural part of this increase. Part of it is due to the increase of the penalties in the case of insufficient payments and will therefore result in less income later.
