Permits for foodstuffs companies in Belgium

Investors who are interested in opening a construction site in Belgium must know that, in this field, businesses have to obtain a set of special permits and licenses, as prescribed by the Belgian law
 
When a company is involved in a construction site, the investor will need a building permit, issued by the Municipality. According to the type of building, the investor may also need an environment impact report. Prior to starting the operations for the construction, the businessman is required to expose the business permit on the site.
 
After the construction is finished, the site will be inspected by the Fire Department. 
 
Companies should also take into consideration the environmental regulations. Waste can’t be incinerated in the Brussels region without possessing a permit. Such permits are issued by various institutions, as the waste management established here is organized by regions.
