Pharmaceutical consumption in Belgium is comparatively high, although thecomplicated reimbursement system has hindered access to innovative drugs in thepast. More recently, the government has attempted to speed up regulatoryprocedures and improve access to new drugs of major therapeutic value. Fears that Belgium's pharmaceutical sector was starting to loseout competitively to other European countries has resulted in the setting up ofa federal drugs agency, which officially started operations in 2007. The market is divided into two linguistic regions; the northern Dutch speakingregion of Flanders and the southern French speaking region of Wallonia. Thecapital, Brussels, is situated in the Dutch region but has bilingual status.Most pharmaceutical companies active in the Belgian market operate through theirown Belgian-based subsidiaries, while a few use the services of indigenousmanufacturers. The majority of healthcare providers are independentpractitioners who are paid on a fee-for-service basis. 
Political wranglingbetween the Flemish and Walloon political groups over how much power should bedevolved from the federal government to the regions was the main reason for thenine-month delay in forming a new government following legislative elections inJune 2007.
