This Wikipedia article on Scientology's legal status in Belgium describes a 1997 Belgian parliamentary commission report that examined sectarian organizations and attached, as testimony record rather than as a formal finding, a list of 189 groups, and states that Parliament adopted the report's recommendations but explicitly did not adopt the attached list. It is the weaker relay form used here because two primary sources for the same claim, the US State Department's international religious freedom report and its UNHCR Refworld mirror, could not be read on this research pass.

Assessment
Reliability Tier3
A crowd sourced encyclopedia article, used here as a relay because the two primary candidates, the US State Department's religious freedom report and the UNHCR Refworld mirror of it, could not be read on this pass: the State Department page returned an unreadable rendering and Refworld refused the request outright. The claim it carries, that a 1997 parliamentary list was never adopted by Parliament, is narrow and checkable rather than evaluative, which limits the risk the relay carries, hence the lowest tier rather than exclusion.
