Yes, that is true. But because the national money transfer systems are now very 
soon going to be abolished that is not a practical solution anymore. Or the 
money must be directed to the accounts of the chapters if the exist.

Normally the people in the euro-zone must have now 2 money transfer systems the 
can use; the national one and the IBAN-system. And the IBAN-system is being 
used more and more by company's who send a bill to there customers.

Best would be to just give a IBAN account number and label it as "European Bank 
Account" and not say anything about Belgium. There is no need to. If you have 
the IBAN number, and maybe the BIC, that is all you need.
