The 1970/71 revision of the Belgian constitution recognized the existence of three cultural communities--two major (Flemish & French) & one minor (German)--& three geographic regions (Flanders, Wallonia, & Brussels). This led to the creation of several new subnational institutions of which the most important are the cultural & the regional councils. Each cultural council is comprised of the senators & representatives of one linguistic group, while the regional councils are composed of these same parliamentarians (plus municipal council members in the case of Brussels) in accordance with their geographic residence. The councils may thus be seen as subgroupings of the national parliament. They are both essentially advisory bodies, but the cultural councils do legislate decrees which, when enforced by the respective Ministers of Culture, have the force of law. On the other hand, regional councils are purely consultative assemblies providing opinions in the functional areas specified by the constitution. A ministerial committee for each region considers the council's recommendations in enforcing national policies in the region. A detailed inventory of the activities of these councils is given. After two years of existence, the Flemish (but not the French) cultural council has adopted a number of decrees relative to the autonomy of Flemish culture. Today, both councils appear to have reached the end of their usefulness as normative bodies. Their area of competency should be extended. Few of the texts voted by the regional councils have become law, & these councils should be given the power to vote on decrees. Their lack of interest in matters of energy, industry, & employment is left unexplained. New constitutional amendments are needed to make these councils more effective, on the basis of the experience of the last two years. The activities of the councils must be understood against the background of the conflict that opposes the partisans of a unitary state, those of a bilinguistic federation, & those of a triregional federation. 9 Tables.

The 1970-1971 revision of the Belgian constitution recognized the existence of three cultural communities (two main ones Flemish-, French-, and one minor German speaking) and three geographic regions (Flanders, Wallonia and Brussels).The implementation of the constitutional provisions regarding cultural and regional autonomy led to the creation of several new subnational institutions of which the most important are the cultural and the regional Councils. Each cultural Council groups the senators and the representatives of similar linguistic group, while the regional Councils are composed of these same parliamentarians (plus municipal council members in the case of the Brussels Regional Council) in accordance with their geographic residence. These Councils may thus be seen as sub-groupings of the national Parliament.Although both are essentially advisory bodies, the cultural Councils do legislate decrees which, when enforced by the respective Ministers of Culture, have the force of law. On the other hand, the regional Councils are purely consultative assemblies, providing opinions and requesting clarifications and justifications of national decisions in the functional areas, specified by the Constitution. A ministerial committee of each region considers the Council's recommendations in enforcing national policies in the regions.The complexity of national-community-regional relations and the political discussions between the supporters of regionalization and those favoring culturalization shows the temporary nature of the present institutionalization.

Being the first to pay such a tax, this annual fee came to be known as the ""paulette."" This pamphlet is the record of Charles Paulet's negotiations.
