Flemish MPs who miss more than five consecutive plenary assemblies with votes or who are unjustifiably absent for more than seven plenary assemblies with votes in one year will be financially punished. They risk having their flat-rate expense allowance deducted in full. This is stated in an amendment to the statute of the Flemish representatives that was approved in the Flemish Parliament on Wednesday.
