Details

There is no geospatial link for the postcodes. All that's available is the postcodes themselves with corresponding place names on the Belgian Postal Office (bpost) which is partially owned by the Belgian government (privatised public office). (http://www.bpost.be/site/nl/residential/customerservice/search/postal_codes.html). Unchanged since review in 2014.
