Belgian Ministerial Decree approves noyb as qualified entity to file class actions

In September, the Belgian Official Journal published a Ministerial Decree approving noyb as a qualified entity under the collective action scheme of the Belgian Code of Economic Law. This authorisation enables noyb to file representative actions in Belgium for violations of consumer and data‑protection laws, including the GDPR.

Why it matters: The decree gives the EU‑based privacy NGO noyb the ability to bring cross‑border class actions in Belgium, expanding enforcement tools for data‑protection rights.
