A comment by Bart Hanssens helped to clarify the legal openness of Belgiums budget: As explained on the website at the bottom of https://www.begroting.be/NL/Pages/budgetDefinition.aspx1, the budget is actually passed as a law. The law on accouting and organisation of the budget (https://www.ejustice.just.fgov.be/eli/wet/2003/05/22/2003003367/justel1 - "Wet houdende organisatie van de begroting en van de comptabiliteit van de federale Staat"), article 44 - 47 explain that a budget-as-a-law-proposal has to be submitted and approved by the Parliament every year. And official acts like laws are not copyrighted in Belgium, as mentioned in https://www.ejustice.just.fgov.be/eli/wet/2014/04/19/2014011298/justel https://www.ejustice.just.fgov.be/eli/loi/2014/04/19/2014011298/justel
