| dataset_note | No | Moniteur Belge / Belgisch Staatsblad (ejustice.just.fgov.be) is Belgium's official gazette, keyless and CC0-licensed. Legislation is addressed by ELI coordinates (type/year/month/day/numac) at /eli/{type}/{yyyy}/{mm}/{dd}/{numac}/justel. There is no free-text search API - only a year-listing page per legislation type (/eli/{type}/{year}) for discovery, and get-by-coordinate for full text. Belgium is trilingual (French/Dutch/German); French is used as the primary human_readable form by LDH convention, but NL and DE renderings exist for most acts. | |
