On 6 March 2020, Belgium has adopted a specific act for companies in difficulties due to Brexit. This act will enter into force on 22 March 2021 and will cease to apply on 21 March 2022. The act provides three temporary crisis measures that aim at safeguarding employment:
All measures are limited in time (they can only be applied during a number of months/weeks). Moreover, the act of 6 March 2020 is limited to the private sector and only applies to companies recognized as company in difficulties due to Brexit by the Minister of Work. The main condition for such recognition is that the company is affected by a 5% reduction in turnover, production or orders due to Brexit.
