The Flemish budget amounts to around 40 billion euros. The budget for the year 2016 is divided between revenue and expenditure as shown in the graphs. Both the revenue and the expenditure are estimations. Expenditure represents the maximum level for government spending. The budgets for Welfare, Public health and Family and for Education and Training are the biggest budget items, representing each nearly 28% of the total. How is a budget drawn up? Drawing up a budget means making decisions. And that is what politics is all about. Every year the Government of Flanders draws up a budget for a full year. It then drafts various decrees on the budget. These outline the estimated income (from taxes and federal endowments) and the estimated expenditure for all the governmental tasks. The Flemish Parliament discusses these decrees in great detail and then votes on them, first in the relevant committee and subsequently in the plenary session. The government regularly checks whether the budget is still correct (budgetary control). Sometimes the government has to alter the budget slightly. This is called a budgetary adjustment. 27
