Service public fédéral Chancellerie du Premier ministre

TheChancellery of the Belgian Prime Minister provides essential administrative and legal support to the head of the Belgian federal government. It prepares the agenda and documentation for the Council of Ministers, ensuring that ministers have the necessary information for decision‑making. The Chancellery coordinates the implementation of government policies across federal departments. It manages the Prime Minister’s official communications, including press releases and public statements. Additionally, the Chancellery handles protocol matters and organizes official visits and events on behalf of the Prime Minister.

As a Service public fédéral (SPF), the Chancellery operates directly under the authority of the Prime Minister and is part of Belgium’s federal public administration. It serves as a liaison between the Prime Minister’s office and the various federal ministries, facilitating inter‑ministerial cooperation. The Chancellery monitors the execution of governmental decisions and reports on their progress to the Prime Minister. It also contributes to the preparation of Belgium’s positions in international forums where the Prime Minister represents the state. Through these functions, the Chancellery helps maintain the coherence and effectiveness of federal governance.

The Chancellery’s specialization lies in governmental coordination and crisis management, requiring expertise in both administrative procedures and security protocols. Its regulatory role includes overseeing that ministerial actions comply with legal frameworks and government directives. Notable competencies have been demonstrated in handling cybersecurity incidents, such as the 2022‑08‑10 attack in which attempted credential theft was detected and mitigated. Following that incident, the Chancellery launched preventive security measures and cooperated with the federal prosecutor’s office in a judicial investigation. These actions illustrate the Chancellery’s capacity to respond to threats while continuing to support the Prime Minister’s constitutional duties.
