Mineral resources in the sand and gravel extraction areas in the Belgian part of the North Sea
The dataset shows in the form of polygons the sand and gravel extraction sites in the Belgian marine areas as defined by the successive marine spatial plans. A 2014 version illustrates the 2014-2020 plan while the 2020 version illustrates the 2020-2026 plan.

Every two year the spectrophotometers are calibrated by an external company. This is done through side-by-side comparative measurements with an international reference instrument. The stability between these calibration campaigns is traced on a day by day basis by internal lamps.
The earthquake catalogue and database of the Royal Observatory of Belgium contains source parameters of earthquakes that occurred in and around Belgium since 1350. Similar to most other seismic catalogues in the world, the ROB catalogue is heterogeneous, as it is based on the analysis of two different types of data: - Historical data: concern the period from about 1350 to 1910, for which only local reports about damage and felt effects (i.e. intensity) of earthquakes are available (“macroseismic” observations); - Instrumental data: concern the period from 1911 onward, the year continuous seismic recordings in Belgium started, up to the present day. For earthquakes during this period both intensity data (from macroseismic enquiries with the local authorities and, since 2000, on the internet) and seismic recordings are available. The earthquake catalogue is a list of earthquakes with the following parameters: origin time (year, month, day, hour, minute, second), geographic coordinates of the hypocenter (latitude, longitude, focal depth), magnitude (local magnitude ML, surface-wave magnitude Ms and/or moment magnitude Mw), maximum observed intensity, and the name of the locality. The ROB catalogue is considered to be complete: - Since 1350 for earthquakes with Mw>=5.0; - Since 1905 for earthquakes with Mw>=4.0 (seismic station in Uccle and neighboring countries); - Since 1960 for earthquakes with Mw>=3.0 (4 stations in Belgium); - Since 1985 for earthquakes with Mw>=2.0 (modern digital network consisting of 20+ stations).

Foreign real estate - Owners' profile corresponds to the dataset describing the profile of Belgian taxpayers (natural persons) holding real estate abroad. This dataset is composed of five classes. The first shows, at national level, by age and sex category, the number of individuals holding a real right that allows enjoyment over foreign property, the total number of foreign properties held by these individuals, and the number of properties by foreign country or territory. The number of properties takes into account the shares actually held. The second class presents this information at the level of the three regions. The following classes do the same for provinces, arrondissements and communes. The dataset is freely downloadable as zipped CSV files.
The licence is fully available in French (https://finances.belgium.be/sites/default/files/Licence_plan_opendata_FR.PDF) or in Dutch (https://financien.belgium.be/sites/default/files/Licentie_plan_opendata_NL.PDF).
Foreign real estate - Owners' profile is based on the database of foreign cadastral income as well as from the contents of the database of natural persons. The former contains data declared by Belgian taxpayers holding real rights on real estate located abroad. On the basis of the data declared, the FPS Finance sets a cadastral income for each property abroad. The second database contains, for each individual, information from the National Register, the authentic source for Belgian individuals and foreigners domiciled in Belgium.

The data set contains a seamless polygonal layer representing the land cover in Belgium for the year 2006 and the year 2012. The polygons are spread over 32 classes from the CORINE Land Cover legend which are present un Belgium. The minimum map unit is 25 ha. The conceptual scale is 1:100 000. The data set also contains a polygon layer showing changes of more than 5 ha in the land cover between 2006 and 2012.
The data set contains two polygonal layers: CLC2012 and CHA12_BE. The CLC2012 layer has been produced by making the intersection between the revised CORINE Land Cover 2006 layer and the layer with changes between 2006 and 2012 (CHA12_BE). The CHA12_BE layer has been produced by a visual comparison of the i2006 and i2012 images, SPOT/IRS and SPOT/IRS images respectively which cover Belgium. The topographic maps at the 1:10 000 and 1:50 000 scales and orthophotographs have been used as additional data.
Mortality rate from incidental bycatch dataset in support of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) Descriptor 1 (D01C01, 2018 Reporting)
This dataset is part of the 2018 Belgian submission for the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) linked to descriptor 1, criterion 1. Stranded porpoises often show traces of incidental catch in fishing nets (bycatch), a major cause of death for this cetacean in the North Sea. Based on the number of stranded animals showing traces of bycatch, it can be estimated that up to a few dozen porpoises are caught per year. For extrapolation of bycatch data to effects at population level, reference is made to (future) initiatives at regional level.
