Document background
Official Meeting Minutes are essential documents in Belgian corporate and organizational governance, required under the Belgian Company Code and related legislation. These minutes serve as the official record of meetings, whether for board sessions, shareholder assemblies, committee meetings, or other formal organizational gatherings. The document must capture all essential elements including attendees, discussions, decisions, and voting results, while complying with Belgian bilingual requirements where applicable. In the Belgian legal context, properly maintained meeting minutes are crucial for demonstrating compliance with corporate governance requirements, providing evidence of decision-making processes, and protecting the interests of all stakeholders. The minutes can be used in legal proceedings and are often required by regulatory authorities for verification of corporate compliance.
