Sigurd.Schelstraete@diplobel.fed.be The Financial crisis and Regulatory Response
Sénateur Collas, who was the rapporteur of the Special Parliamentary Committee in charge of reviewing the Financial and Banking Crisis, presented an overview of the way the crisis unfolded in Belgium and of the legislative steps undertaken by the Belgian Congress and Administration to mitigate its impact and prevent a further downturn in the financial sector. Ambassador Matthysen, who was hosting the event, reminded the participants that financial regulatory issues are at the heart of the Eighteen-month program of the Spanish, Belgian and Hungarian presidencies of the EU, both as such and has a specific focus of the transatlantic co-operation. Belgian Post Buys Stake in MSI Worldwide MailDe Post-La Poste, Belgium's national postal operator, acquired a majority stake in MSI Worldwide Mail, a U.S.-based mail and parcel delivery company. The company will continue to operate as MSI Worldwide Mail and will be managed by its founding partners Richard Gerhardt and Christopher Taylor for at least the next five years. De Post-La Poste said its business unit Belgian Post International will use the new partnership with MSI to further expand its retail operations in the United States and worldwide. Peter Somers, member of the Executive Board of De Post-La Poste and responsible for Belgian Post International, says: “This partnership offers us the chance of reinforcing our future on foreign markets.” WOODROW WILSON AND BELGIUMAmerican historian John Milton Cooper read from and spoke about his new biography of Woodrow Wilson at the Belgian Residence on November 12. The benefit event, co-organized by the Embassy and the Woodrow Wilson House, honored Dr. Cooper’s book and marked both Armistice Day and the 90th anniversary of President Wilson’s visit to Belgium in 1919. In greeting his guests, the Ambassador said “It seems appropriate that the Belgian Embassy should open its doors to the Woodrow Wilson House, which has certainly done its share to keep alive President Wilson’s connection with Belgium.” Dr. Cooper read some passages from his book that underscored the President’s erudition and eloquence and described his character and others that documented the issues of his presidency, including the failure of the United States to ratify his proposed League of Nations. And, in his remarks, Dr. Cooper also highlighted Wilson’s bonds with Belgium. He stressed the significance that the violation of Belgian neutrality in World War I had on America’s willingness to become an active player in that War and described the President’s postwar tour of ruined Belgian towns and cities as well as U.S. efforts to help Belgium’s recovery. He also recounted the very cordial relationship that President and Mrs. Wilson developed with King Albert and Queen Elisabeth, who, with their son Prince Leopold, were the only ones, other than the President’s physician and family, to be allowed to visit Wilson in his White House sick bed. ACCLAIM FOR BELGIAN SCIENCE……AT INAUGURATION OF TERRA COTTA WARRIORS EXHIBITION The memory of the late Belgian scientist Dr. Paul Janssen was repeatedly honored during the December 1 inauguration of the Xi’an Terra Cotta Warriors Exhibition at the National Geographic Society in Washington, DC. Indeed, in their speeches, host Clifford E. Holland of Johnson & Johnson and Chinese Ambassador Zhou Wenzhong both reminded guests of the crucial role played by “Dr. Paul” and his Janssen Pharmaceutical Laboratories (now part of “JNJ”) in saving the world famous statues from a destructive fungus. The exhibition subtitled “Guardians of China’s First Emperor,” runs until March 2010. Dr. Janssen, a Doctor honoris causa of Western Maryland College, was singled out in a poll as Belgium’s “greatest scientist ever.” …AT INNOVATION ECONOMY CONFERENCE That same day, Dr. Sophie Vandebroek, CTO of Xerox and President o f the Xerox Innovation Group, addressed the prestigious Innovation Economy Conference at the Reagan Center, taking part in a panel session including, among others, senior White House economic advisor Austan Goolsbee and PBS NewsHour’s Jeffrey Brown. A KUL and Cornell alumna and a Belgian-American Educational Foundation (BAEF) Fellow, Dr. Vandebroek is the holder of 12 US electro-mechanics patents. …UPON RETURN OF BELGIAN ASTRONAUT Last but not least, a few hours earlier, National Public Radio and other Washington and US media announced the safe return to earth aboard a Soyuz spacecraft of astronaut Frank De Winne after his most recent stay at the International Space Station. Like many other Belgian fighter pilots, Viscount De Winne lived in the United States in the nineties during an assignment at the Golden State’s Edwards Air Force Base as a senior EPAF (European Participating Air Forces) officer. Wilfried Martens presented his new autobiography:Nine-time Belgian Prime Minister and current President of the European People's Party, Wilfried Martens presented his new autobiography, Europe: I Struggle, I Overcome, at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars on October 9. The book focuses on his strong commitment to European integration. Martens offers insight into the running of a complex country like Belgium as well as the fight for European integration and unification, and provides a firsthand account of the intricacies of European politics. Ambassador Jan Matthysen was present at the event, and thanked Wilfried Martens for his statesmanship as well as for his written “contribution to democracy and history.” The Ambassador emphasized that this autobiography is testimony to the importance of transatlantic relations, in a world where only twenty percent of the population lives in a democracy as we know it. Belgian scientist Hilde Cheroutre receives prestigious NIH Pioneer AwardThe Belgian scientist Hilde Cheroutre has received one of the National Institutes of Health (NIH)’s top awards, the 2009 NIH Director's Pioneer Award. The prestigious prize carries with it funding for total costs of up to $4.7 million over five years, and is designed to support the work of exceptionally creative scientists, whose novel proposals offer the potential to make extraordinary contributions to human health. Dr. Cheroutre is one of a select group of 18 scientists nationwide chosen for the 2009 prize from among more than 2,300 applicants. The award will fund her innovative research proposal that, if successful, would create a new way of detecting, treating and possibly preventing autoimmune diseases, with the potential for identifying high risk for autoimmunity in newborns. If Dr. Cheroutre’s premise is correct and she proves that certain cellular defects underlie autoimmunity, it could allow for early detection of those individuals at high risk. The second part of her groundbreaking proposal would then come into play through the development of new therapies that could potentially prevent autoimmunity in those people identified as highly susceptible. Theoretically, similar treatments could also be used for those who have already developed autoimmunity. Nilabh Shastri, a prominent scientist and immunology professor at UC Berkeley, who previously worked with Dr. Cheroutre, said her selection “justifies the existence of such awards.” Hilde Cheroutre is a scientist at the La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology. She received the award on Thursday 24th of September during the Pioneer Award Symposium today at the NIH headquarters in Bethesda, Maryland. Dr. Cheroutre finds the Pioneer award both exhilarating and challenging. “The NIH is giving recipients the chance to explore our most imaginative concepts. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity. I hope that the opportunity given to me with this award will ultimately lead to innovative and advanced knowledge that can help to prevent autoimmunity from occurring and effectively treat those people who already suffer from autoimmune diseases.” Opening of an exhibit on Belgian glassworkersThe South Charleston Museum of West Virginia opened a new exhibit “Belgian Glassworkers and the Founding of South Charleston: 1907-1928” on September, 12. The deputy chief of mission of the Belgian Embassy attended the opening ceremony, together with the mayor of South Charleston and members of the House of Delegates of West Virginia. The exhibition recreates the interior of the Banner Window Glass Company and brings to life the story of the Belgian immigrants who moved from Indiana to South Charleston in 1907 to make flat glass. The exhibit pays tribute to the Belgian’s time-honored tradition of handmade glassmaking which had been handed down from generation to generation and to their many contributions to South Charleston. Condolences to the family of Senator KennedyBrussels, 27th of August 2009 I wish to offer my sincere condolences to the family and friends of Senator Edward M. Kennedy. The distinguished career of Senator Kennedy was a source of inspiration for many around the world. Throughout his life Senator Kennedy showed the greatest respect for human dignity. His commitment to human values, education and social justice is an example for us and encourages us to strive for a more humane and equitable society. His ability to find common ground, rising above party lines and political divisions, resulted in impressive legislative achievements. Senator Kennedy will long be remembered. Yves Leterme Foreign Minister of Belgium BARCO NV visits the ambassador's residenceU2" and the US Avionics industry : Barco evening at the Residence of Belgium. On Monday Aug. 10th, a wide number of high-level representatives of the US avionics and aviation electronics industries gathered at the Residence of Belgium at the invitation of Ambassador and Mrs. Jan Matthysen. The dinner-function was held in honor of the visit to the United States of Mr. Eric Van Zele, the new CEO of Belgian company and global imaging technologies leader BARCO NV. Welcoming Mr. Van Zele and his guests, the Ambassador praised the way Barco has “managed to remain a truly Belgian company, whilst becoming a truly American one, with important activities and workforce in California, Georgia, Texas, Oregon and Ohio”. Mr. Van Zele reminded the assistance of how important Barco’s technological and financial links with the US had always been, as evidenced by the fact that the company’s name actually used to be the acronym for Belgian-American Radio Co. Mr. Van Zele’s presentation also featured a number of images of Barco’s product used on U2’s North American Vertigo tour. The company’s OLite 510 indoor/outdoor SMD LED display technology was also the centerpiece of U2’s "the Claw" 360°stage-set during the European leg of the tour. Robert Aubry Davis visits BelgiumRadio and television personality Robert Aubry Davis was invited to Belgium by the Belgian Tourist Office (www.visitbelgium.com) at the end of May to attend the opening of the new Magritte Museum and the finals of the Queen Elisabeth International Music Competition. He sent the following report to his friends and fans. World Bank Institute awards for corruption-fightingBelgian Ambassador presents World Bank Institute awards for corruption-fighting proposals.
The Ambassador handed the prize certificates to the winners of the competition who came from countries as diverse as Colombia, Malawi, Germany, Ukraine, Ghana and Palestine. The winners had been invited to attend the World Bank’s Executive Development Program on ‘Fighting Corruption through Collective Action in Today’s Competitive Marketplaces’ in Washington DC this week. After an introduction by the World Bank Institute’s Vice President Sanjay Pradhan, who commended Belgium for its engagement on the governance and anti-corruption agenda, the Ambassador in his remarks pointed out that the total amount of bribes paid annually is nearly twice the gross domestic product of Africa and that these are funds diverted from their intended purpose. Belgium is supporting a range of efforts to limit opportunities and incentives for corruption and bribery with a focus on building coalitions against corruption, including within the business community. In March 2007, the Belgian government, together with the World Bank and the OECD, organized an international conference in Brussels to explore the potential of a three-way partnership of donors, developing partner countries and the private sector to improve governance and fight corruption. In parallel, during a 24-hour dialogue by videoconference, students from all over the world identified relevant, straightforward and universal recommendations on actionable ways to fight corruption. To give practitioners and young leaders who were not able to attend the conference in Brussels an opportunity to share their experience and thoughts, the competition resulting in today’s award ceremony was organized as a direct follow up. The Ambassador said he was impressed by the winning essays and the case studies presented and expressed his belief that young people and their vision and ethical leadership can make a difference. He concluded his remarks by congratulating all the winners. Belgian Ambassador Fêtes King Baudouin Prize WinnerIndonesian Radio News Agency KBR68H
In 1978, the Brussels-based King Baudouin Foundation created the King Baudouin International Development Prize to acknowledge the work of persons or organizations which have made a substantial contribution to the development of countries in the southern hemisphere or to solidarity between industrialized nations and developing nations. The Foundation wants to underscore the idea that problems of development are even more acute today than when they emerged in the collective consciousness of nations in the aftermath of World War II. Every two years a King Baudouin Development Prize winner is selected from among numerous candidates. The KBR68H news agency and radio network was chosen, according to the Foundation, “for its contribution to sustainable development based on the strengthening of democracy, tolerance and citizen participation, by producing and disseminating qualitative information through a network of local radio stations and by promoting professional ethics in the media world.” In addition to a substantial cash award, the King Baudouin Foundation also provides the opportunity to the winner to visit New York and Washington in order to build contacts with international development agencies. During his visit to Washington, DC, Mr. Santoso was received at the World Bank, USAID and the State Department and was keynote speaker at an event held at the Center for International Media Assistance (CIMA) on “Independent Voices: Radio’s role in Democracy and Development,” an initiative of the National Endowment for Democracy. Mr. Santoso was accompanied in Washington, DC by Ms. Tessa Piper, Program Director for Indonesia for the Media Development Loan Fund (MDLF) who nominated KBR68H for the King Baudouin Prize, and by Mr. Jean-Paul Warmoes, representative of the King Baudouin Foundation in the United States.

For more information: Nederlands Français Belgium elected to the Human Rights CouncilOn May 12, Belgium was elected to a three-year mandate (2009-2012) on the United Nations’ Human Rights Council. The United States and Norway also won seats for this period. Human rights are a priority for Belgium. They are, after all, an indispensable part of respect for human dignity. It is essential to promote and defend them to achieve peace, safety and development in the world. Belgium wants to contribute actively to international efforts towards greater respect for human rights. Civil rights, political rights, economic, social and cultural rights are universal and interdependent. Belgium will advocate that the Human Rights Council deal with all these rights equally and that it should be able to function effectively to promote human rights and to expose human rights violations.

This event takes place annually and this year nearly 400 diplomats, Antarctic program managers and logistics experts, and polar scientists from 47 countries participated. Belgium is one of the 28 Consultative Parties with a scientific presence in Antarctica. Last February a new Belgian research platform in the Antarctic was inaugurated: the Princess Elisabeth Station. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Antarctic Treaty. The Treaty was signed in Washington on 1 December, 1959. Belgium is one of the 12 original signatories of the Treaty. The 2009 Meeting in Baltimore also coincides with the conclusion of International Polar Year, the most ambitious multinational, interdisciplinary polar research effort ever undertaken.

The deal creates the world’s largest brewer, uniting the maker of Budweiser and Michelob with the producer of Stella Artois, Bass and Brahma. Together the two companies have sales of about $36 billion a year. It is the biggest takeover in the U.S. economy this year, and the third largest ever. Inbev is based in Leuven, Belgium. The company’s origins date back to 1366 and today it manages a portfolio of more than 200 beer brands. The combined new company will be named Anheuser-Busch Inbev. Anheuser will be given two seats on the board, including one for August A.Busch IV, Anheuser’s chief executive whose family has controlled Anheuser for more than a century. Inbev CEO Carlos Brito, of Brazil, will lead the new company. The transaction is subject to the approval of company shareholders and other customary regulatory approvals, but Inbev expects the process to be completed by the end of 2008. The Inbev takeover of A-B caused initially quite a stir in the U.S. Because of a huge advertising budget and a strong distribution network, few brands are as omnipresent in American daily life as Budweiser and its more popular sibling, Bud Light. Anheuser is for example the largest buyer of Super Bowl ads. Inbev has pledged to keep Budweiser as the new company’s flagship brand and St. Louis as its North American headquarters. All U.S. breweries will remain open, Inbev has stated, and the takeover will enhance global market access for Budweiser. However, Inbev will sell the entertainment division of Anheuser Busch, including SeaWorld, Busch Gardens and other theme parks. While Inbev’s takeover has received a lot of attention, several American beers gave already been taken over by larger overseas rivals in the last decade. The Miller Brewing Company was sold to South African Breweries in 1999, and the Adolph Coors Company was bought by Molson of Canada in 2005. In addition, Inbev and Anheuser already had some commercial ties. Inbev distributes Budweiser in Canada, and the two companies have a successful U.S. distribution partnership for Inbev’s European premium import brands including Stella Artois, Beck’s and Bass. In 2006, Inbev sold its Rolling Rock brand to Anheuser-Busch for $82 million. Together with the newly combined MillerCoors company, Anheuser-Busch InBev is certainly going to make the U.S. beer business more competitive than it is already. One of the biggest battles in the transformed U.S. beer business will be in the light beer aisle, as Miller Lite and Coors Light go up against the biggest beer brand in the world, Bud Light. It’s going to be a hard-fought contest. New Office for Economic MigrationBelgium will get a new office for Economic Migration in the Federal Public Service Internal Affairs, Minister for Migration Annemie Turtelboom and Minister for Foreign Affairs Karel De Gucht announced on July 2nd. The new office has become operational on September 15th. It has to ensure that business and work visa can be processed much faster. The goal is to mobilize all government agencies involved in the migration procedure for foreigners who want to invest or engage in a for-profit activity around a central point of contact. While Embassies and consulates will continue to issue the bulk of the work and business visa, the new office will support them and other government agencies and local towns with regulatory expertise. Embassies and consulates will keep the authority to issue visas for less than three months, provided the required conditions are fulfilled. They will also remain entitled to issue visas for more than three months to those in possession of a work permit or a professional card. Fro now on they will also be allowed to issue long term (D-type) visas to certain types of researchers exempt from the requirement to obtain a work permit and for executives employed in a multinational headquarter. Researchers exempt from the requirement to obtain a work permit include non-EU nationals in the possession of a degree which gives them access to a doctoral degree in their country of origin, and who have been selected to engage in a research project in one of the officially recognized Belgian institutions of higher learning. A list of these institutions can be consulted on the site of the Federal Public Service for Science Policy (www.belspo.be). Executives in a multinational headquarter qualify for the exemption from the requirement to obtain a work permit provided their salary exceeds a certain amount. The gross amount was € 57.162 as of Jan 1, 2008. 175 Years of Belgian DiplomacyCelebration of 175 Years of U.S.-Belgian Relations Speech by Mr. Karel De Gucht, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Belgium, "From Explorer Ships to Partnerships" Brussels, April 8, 2008, Paleis der Academiën Bilateral Treaties Belgium and BeneluxYou can find the Bilateral Treaties here in MS Word or in PDF format. Dual CitizenshipA long discussion concerning Belgian nationality has finally come to an end with a very positive outcome for Belgians living in the United States. Since the publication on 30 April 2008 of the new Royal Decree in the Belgian Official Journal of Laws, all Belgian citizens who voluntarily acquire another nationality can keep their Belgian nationality. The new change of law is good news for the Belgians in the U.S. , many of whom have hesitated for a long time to become naturalized Americans because they wanted to retain their Belgian citizenship. New US-Belgium Double Taxation TreatyDecember 28, 2007 Entry into force of the Income Tax Treaty and Protocol On November 27, 2006 the Ambassador to Belgium, Tom C. Korologos, and the Deputy Prime Minister- Minister of Finance, Mr. Didier Reynders, signed a new Income Tax Treaty and Protocol to replace the existing bilateral income tax treaty, concluded in 1970, as amended in 1987, between the two countries. The Treaty and Protocol were signed in Brussels. On July 16, 2007, the Belgian ratification instruments were sent by the Embassy to the Department of State and on December 28, 2007, the Department of State transmitted the instrument of ratification of this Convention to the Embassy of Belgium. In conformity with article 28 of the Convention, the agreement entered into force on December 28, 2007. The agreement significantly reduces tax-related barriers to trade and investment flows between the United States and Belgium. It also modernizes the treaty to take account of changes in the laws and policies of both countries since the current treaty was signed. The most important aspect of the Treaty and Protocol deals with the taxation of cross-border dividend payments. The Treaty and Protocol provide for the elimination of the source-country withholding tax on dividends arising from certain direct investments and on dividends paid to pension funds. The Treaty and Protocol also provide for mandatory arbitration of certain cases that cannot be resolved by the competent authorities within a specified period of time. This is only the second time that a U.S. tax treaty has contained such a provision. In addition, the Treaty and Protocol also strengthen the Treaty's provisions preventing so-called treaty shopping, which is the inappropriate use of a tax treaty by third-country residents. The Treaty and Protocol will also serve to improve the exchange of information between the two countries, including bank information. With respect to the signing, Ambassador Korologos stated "This is a win-win treaty. The signing today is a tribute to the initiative of President Bush and Prime Minister Verhofstadt both of whom became personally involved. I congratulate the Finance Minister and the U.S. Treasury who worked out the details in record time. It is another example of the close US-Belgian economic and political ties." Fraud / Scam alertThe Belgian Embassy in Washington, D.C., and as the Belgian Consulates General across the U.S., receive numerous inquiries from U.S. citizens regarding the legitimacy of certain solicitations they have received via email. The solicitations promise large sums of money in return for the advance payment of certain fees, transaction fees, customs fees, etc.; some solicitations concern foreign lotteries. The solicitations name businesses allegedly registered in Belgium, or other European countries, as the source of the monetary or other transaction. The Embassy would like to inform U.S. citizens that these solicitations are most likely fraudulent and connected to well-known financial crime schemes, originating in West Africa in the 1980s. These financial crimes have become so widespread that they are known to national and international law enforcement authorities as "Nigerian fraud," "Advance Fee Fraud," "Section 4-1-9 Fraud," etc. Foreign lottery fraud is a distinct type of fraud, but the methods used are quite similar.
A few common threats of the "Advance Fee Fraud" solicitation are:
If you suspect that you have been approached by someone involved in
these practices, pay careful attention to the following advice: > If you are a U.S. citizen, the U.S. Secret Service has a division which investigates this type of criminal activity, and we encourage you to contact them directly at U.S. Secret Service. > Belgian authorities are also interested in receiving copies of correspondence/emails (pertaining to a Belgian address or telephone/fax number) with these criminals, which can be sent to a specialized service of the Belgian Federal Police: Belgian
