French Community Commission (COCOF)
The French Community Commission (COCOF) takes care of the responsibilities of the French Community in the Brussels-Capital Region. This primarily concerns culture, education, health care and assistance to citizens.
Remit and responsibilities
The COCOF takes initiatives in the Brussels-Capital Region with regard to culture, education, well-being and health. It can form and fund institutions or take initiatives itself within the scope of community responsibilities.
The French Community of Belgium transferred a number of responsibilities to the COCOF on 1 January 1994. The COCOF can vote on its own legislative texts (decrees) in these matters.
