Federal Public Service Personnel and Organisation
Belgian enterprise
The FPS Personnel and Organisation (Dutch: FOD Personeel en Organisatie, French: SPF Personnel et Organisation, German: FÖD Personal und Organisation), also referred to as the FPS P&O, was a Federal Public Service of Belgium. It was created by Royal Order on 11 May 2001, as part of the plans of the Verhofstadt I Government to modernise the federal administration. It is a so-called horizontal Federal Public Service because it isn't responsible for a specific policy field, but provides services to the other Federal Public Services.
It merged into the Federal Public Service Policy and Support on 1 March 2017.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as belgian enterprise. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2479908. VIAF identifies the subject as 171794607. 2 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 1 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2001 and 2017.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
