Belgian certificates

Hi AquilaTonante,

I have filed a ticket with our data editors to investigate this. Do you have any evidence available that will support this and help our data editors in their investigation?

Thanks
Meredith

Hi Meredith,

The rating system in Belgium is ruled by the Law Vandervelde of 1920 (http://darkness-fanzine.over-blog.com/2016/12/en-2017-la-belgique-devrait-classer-les-films-en-fonct...). The classifications are established by a Commission, that can rate a movie for All Ages or only for 16 years and over. The first classification is indicated as EA in french (Enfants Admis) or KT (Kinderen Toegelaten). The second classification is indicated as ENA (Enfants Non Admis) or KNT (Kinderen Niet Toegelaten). The Commission, following the source posted up, depending on the year, was Inter-community or federal. Since 2007 the commission is under the Federal State competence. So, this matter is federal, the commission is one only and the ratings only two, indicated with different terms depending on the language. In this source, concernings a  proposal of law, it is possible to see that the matter is the same for the dutch and french communities (https://www.senate.be/www/?MIval=/publications/viewPubSplit&TID=50344783&LANG=fr). Pratically, the rating is the same for each communities, but indicated with different terms in Wallonia and in the Flanders.

Hi Meredith, is it possible make these changes? I have found another source, this University thesis (written in the Dutch language)  makes explicit reference to the KT/EA and KNT/ENA labels (http://lib.ugent.be/fulltxt/RUG01/002/064/043/RUG01-002064043_2013_0001_AC.pdf)

Hi. Is there any problem? I would like to know if it is possible to merge these certificates...

Why hasn't anyone answered?

Hi there,

I have followed up on the ticket and this is still pending completion by our data editors. I will update you as soon as the ticket has been closed.

Thank you for your patience.

Hi, after other 3 weeks I have not received any anwer. I don't understand if my proposal was rejected or it has not yet been analyzed... Beyond the sources that I have already posted, in the State Archives of Belgium it is possible to see that there is only a difference of language between the rating labels (KT/ KNT and EA/ENA) and not a difference of content (http://arch.arch.be/index.php?l=nl&m=nieuws&r=tentoonstellingen&e=kinderen-niet-toegelat...   /   http://arch.arch.be/index.php?l=fr&m=actualites&r=expositions&e=enfants-non-admis). Furthermore the correct french labels are however EA /ENA and not Tous/16, then at least these ratings have to be changed... 

Hi Aquila Tonante,

These certificates have now been merged. Please allow up to 48 hours for all changes to reflect on all platforms of the website.

Thank you for your patience whilst we dealt with this issue
