In different decisions of 1 February 2010 the Council of State dismisses the argument invoked by electricity suppliers that the Flemish energy regulator VREG has to accept non-Flemish green electricity certificates (groenestroomcertificaten) allowing the suppliers to comply with their obligation to hand in a certain amount of those certificates in relation to the electricity they supplied the preceding year.
The Council of State explicitly refers to article 25 of the Flemish electricity decree. According to the Council of State, the Flemish government only has to accept such non-Flemish green electricity certificates if the underlying non-Flemish regulation gives the same guarantee as the Flemish regulation.

Flemish energy regulator consults the market on proposal for new technical code
The VREG, the Flemish regulator for electricity and natural gas had opened a public consultation on draft amendments to the Flemish electricity and natural gas technical codes.
The proposal aims at:
- Leaving out all reference to direct lines and direct pipelines, and private networks (or closed distribution systems) as these are not yet legally regulated in the Flemish region;
- Submitting all contracts and regulations of the distribution system operators to the review of the VREG;
- Giving sufficient attention to decentralised production;
- Inserting a conciliation procedure.
