Softwarepatenten? Nee, bedankt: Dutch language website maintained by Dieter Van Uiytvanck which quotes a lot of belgian voices on software patents.
PS.BE 2002: Software Copyrightable, not Patentable: The Belgian Socialist Party's Election Program of 2003 stipulates on page 110:
Les logiciels .. doivent continuer a être protégés par le droit d'auteur plutôt que le brevet.
REU/DKPMA 2002/09/23: Änderungsvorschläge zum Softwarepatente-Richtlinienentwurf: In the Council negotiations of 2002 the belgian and french representatives were among the more critical, but eventually they gave in to the patent hardliners and merely expressed "reservations".
