Hopefully this is just a start and the rest of Europe will follow Belgium's lead.

Hi all,
Great news!
Freedom of panorama has been voted today in the Belgian parliament. A mayority voted in favour of freedom of panorama, including
commercial
use.
Soon images of artworks and modern buildings in Belgium can be
restored
on
Commons.
But first the law needs to be published in the Staatsblad, and ten
days
later it will be official, but that is just a formality. (Will keep
you
updated on that.)
Article in the news in Dutch: http://deredactie.be/cm/vrtnieuws/politiek/1.2685852
In the past weeks, as well as since the campaign in Europe last year,
we
from Wikimedia Belgium have worked hard on this subject and
communicated
with the members of the parliament informing what this subject means
for
Wikipedia.
With the founding of Wikimedia Belgium in 2014, this subject was a
priority
for us.
Thanks all for the support!
Let's get this implemented elsewhere too!
