public enterprises in Belgium; missions of public service; management contract
Abstract :
[en] This paper presents various possible ways of organizing public services, focusing on
economic services entrusted with a public service mission.
Sections 2 and 3 give a general overview of the public sector in Belgium and public
enterprises in particular. It shows that the management contract has become the main
instrument for ‘managing’ a public service mission in Belgium and for supervising its
organisation.
The federal legislation, which served as a model for public service contracts for the
other levels of government, is explained in particular in Section 4. Various illustrations
of companies – presented in the appendix to this paper – make it possible to detail
certain missions entrusted by contract Management and by delegation of public service
mission at various institutional levels in Belgium. Finally, Section 6 recalls the
importance of investments in order to ensure quality public services.
