I'm pretty sure that this has something to do with the parliament in Belgium, but have been unable to find an exact translation of the phrase in any dictionary.

Any ideas? TIA

It should be capitalised in English and there\'s a note saying that it referes to Belgium.

The Provinces have directly elected provincial councils, a permanent delegation and a governor. The permanent delegation assumes the daily administration. It is elected from within the provincial council. The Federal authority (the King) appoints the Governor, who presides over the permanent delegation.

Two Belgian Accomplishments of the 19th Century (pp. 109-120):
In an effort to ensure the economic growth of the country, the development of a road network as well as the rational control and use of the country’s hydrographical resources, Belgian legislators launched two major cartographic projects in the 19th century.
The measures for the conversation and improvement of the local road system contained in the law of 10 April 1841 required that authentic and sufficiently detailed documents be drawn up. The State therefore financed a project, with each municipality on a 50/50 basis, to create an atlas of the local road system (ca. 1841-1845). The law of 7 May 1877 concerning the supervision of non-navigable and non-floatable waterways required only that indicative lists and descriptive tables had to be drawn up, this time at the cost of the State, the provinces and the municipalities. Arguing that such a project would be too expensive and that, for a large number of these waterways, would serve no real purpose in the near future, the government and the Parliament rejected the idea of taking systematic levelling measurements for each of these waterways and decided not to establish graphical documents. The task was handed over to the permanent delegations of the provincial councils which chose their collaborators (their own road inspectors) and called upon the municipal authorities to assist them.

neutral  writeaway: this term actually applies to the Netherlands, not Belgium. Someone in your text apparently looked it up on Eurodicatom and decided to use it anyway since it's the only definition they give.

neutral  writeaway: your reference does not apply to the context. The question referred to Belgian provincial govt., not to Belgian coal mines.

  -> safety in mines may well be a question discussed by provincial government - how can you say it's out of context without seeing the actual source document?
