20 September 2011  -  Peer review
supplementary report focusing on legal
frameworks which allow for transparency and
exchange of tax information now available.

Key Findings:

To answer the deficiencies identified in its 2010
review, in April 2011 Belgium a new law
granting an access to bank information to all its
treaty partners upon condition of reciprocity.
The supplementary report of Belgium notes
that thanks to this new law, exchange of
information to the standard can now take place
with more than 80 of Belgium's partners,
remedying the main concern expressed in the
phase 1 report of Belgium.
