The Flemish Parliament (Dutch: Vlaams Parlement, and formerly called Flemish Council or Vlaamse Raad) constitutes the legislative power in Flanders, for matters which fall within the competence of Flanders, both as a geographic region and a cultural and linguistic community of Belgium. ... The Council of the Region of Brussels-Capital, or Brussels Regional Parliament (French: Conseil de la Région de Bruxelles-Capitale or Parlement Bruxellois, Dutch: Brussels Hoofdstedelijk Parlement or Brusselse Hoofdstedelijke Raad), is the Parliament of the Brussels-Capital Region, one of the three regions of Belgium. ... This is the list of Minister-Presidents (prime ministers) of Wallonia, one of the three regions of Belgium. ...
Consideration is given to the legislative process in two of those bodies, the Parliament of the Walloon Region, and the Council of the Brussels-Capital Region (which latter, notwithstanding it is based on the Brussels area, is nevertheless a fully-fledged legislative assembly).
Generally, committees of parliament are considered to be an important part of the policy making process, with a range of powers in connection with the progress of legislation and functions of inquiry and investigation.
The manner in which legislation passes through devolved Parliaments varies immensely, as one might expect, and it is not possible to suggest that there is one particular form of process which is "typical" of the devolved parliament, in Europe or beyond.
