Strategic Plan 2026–2029: Combating Social Fraud, Illegal Employment and Social Dumping
The Strategic Plan 2026–2029 of the De Wever I Government establishes the strategic reference and policy framework for combating social fraud, illegal employment and social dumping over a four-year period. The Council of Ministers approved the Strategic Plan 2026–2029 on 28 November 2025 (cf. Article 2 of the Social Fraud Policy Support Service Act).
At the core of this plan is a risk-oriented and evidence-informed approach. This means that inspection services will deploy their capacity where risks are greatest and make policy decisions based on objective knowledge and data. In addition, strong emphasis is placed on a programmatic approach to addressing complex fraud phenomena in a multidisciplinary and holistic manner. Together with data sharing and an integrated approach to the enforcement chain—from prevention to sanctions—this forms the foundation of the new policy.
The plan is structured around the following six strategic objectives:
- Strengthening cooperation in the fight against social fraud, both nationally and internationally.
- Enhancing inspection services with sufficient staff, resources and technological tools.
- Implementing a targeted approach to social fraud and social dumping in order to ensure fair competition.
- Increasing the likelihood of detection and establishing a stricter and more effective sanctions policy.
- Preventing social fraud through prevention, transparency and simplification measures.
- Ensuring a safe, healthy and inclusive workplace for all workers.
These strategic objectives will be translated into operational objectives and concrete actions through the 2026–2027 Action Plan for Combating Social Fraud. This action plan entered into force on 1 January 2026
