Proposition de loi modifiant le Code de droit économique afin de permettre au ministre qui a l'Économie dans ses attributions de fixer des prix maximaux pour certains produits de base et de réglementer structurellement l'évolution des prix.

This Belgian private member's bill would amend the Code of Economic Law to give the minister responsible for the economy the power to set maximum prices for certain basic products. It would also allow the government to regulate how prices change over time on a structural basis, rather than only in response to specific crises. The title indicates a focus on price control as a tool of economic policy, though the exact products and mechanisms would be defined in the bill's text. Consumers in Belgium would be affected by any price caps on basic goods, and retailers and producers of the covered products would face new pricing constraints. Because the bill is a proposal, its scope is not yet settled and it could change during parliamentary debate.
