The current Belgian government, in office since October 2020, announced that it would replace the Immigration Act by a new Migration Code. In this context, EMN Belgium sought information about the structure of national migration laws of other Member States and the terminology used for migration policies, subjects and institutions, the result of which was compiled and summarized. 

Vandaag presenteerde de staatssecretaris voor Asiel en Migratie, in aanwezigheid van alle betrokken asiel- en immigratiediensten, de nieuwe migratiecode. Deze nieuwe code is bedoeld om procedures te verduidelijken, teksten te vereenvoudigen en misbruik beter tegen te gaan.
