Flemish Community Commission

The Flemish Community Commission (Dutch: Vlaamse Gemeenschapscommissie (VGC)) is the local representative of the Flemish authorities in the Brussels-Capital Region, one of the three regions of Belgium.

The VGC has competencies for cultural, educational, well-being and health for Flemings in Brussels.

It reaches an estimated 200,000 inhabitants of Brussels with its services, mostly Dutch-speakers, and a significant number of migrants.

Strictly legally speaking, the VGC is only competent for institutions depending on the Flemish government, and not for individual citizens.

The VGC also assumed all Flemish community-specific responsibilities in Brussels of the former province of Brabant when it was split up.
