Flag of the Brussels-Capital Region On 9 January 2015 the bill was approved by the Parliament of the Brussels-Capital Region, and the flag became official shortly after. The law provides for six different colour schemes of the flag, including two in black and white. The flag is expressly not defined in terms of heraldic terminology (a blazon). Instead, the originals of the designs of the flags and the norms for reproduction are kept by the Clerk (Greffe/Griffie) of the Parliament of the Brussels-Capital Region. The original flag's colours and emblem are used on the flag of the French Community Commission and the Flemish Community Commission,
