E-government in social security sector, Belgium

Over the last 10 years, Belgium has developed and pioneered a policy of electronic collection and exchange of administrative data in its social security system. It is believed that specific measures seeking to spread electronic government processes (e-government) throughout all bodies involved in the social security system could strengthen measures seeking to combat social and fiscal fraud. On 2 July 2008, the country’s Council of Ministers launched its first global action plan seeking to combat social and fiscal fraud in Belgium.
