Senate (Belgium)
The Senate (Dutch: Senaat, French: le Sénat, German: der Senat) is one of the two chambers of the bicameral Federal Parliament of Belgium, the other being the Chamber of Representatives. It is considered to be the "upper house" of the Federal Parliament. It has undergone several reforms in the past, and will soon be further reduced as part of the sixth Belgian state reform agreed in 2011 and will no longer be directly elected.
