\'simple decision\'(eenvoudige beslissing, décision simple)is used in Belgian and French texts and is not just a \"thoughtless translation\"-it means \"just by the decision of\", (or as Hirselina says: by mere decision) ie without convening a Meeting or going through other formalities-just on the decision of the Board-simple in that sense (and as simple as that.It may be a French and Belgian concept (and Luxembourg), but it\'s the translation that\'s used here. I\'d really hesitate to go for the word majority without the word \'meerderheid\'. There is definitely no difference between the 2 NL versions on that point.

questions also take some time to come in-this one was already answered by the time I got it
agree Pierre Grabowski (X) : I agree with simple decision )

in the sense of 'trop is te veel', it takes a majority to get a meerderheid. :-)

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "I think you are right - there is indeed no voting involved. It appears that the board of directors are given the power to make "simple decisions", probably to be able to speed up processes and be able to get on with business! Many thanks!"

by mere decision ...

As the (Belgian) French equivalent of this expression is " Le siège peut être transféré ... sur simple décision du conseil d'administration" and Flemish legal expressions are very othen translations, I would say that this means that a mere decision of the board is enough. All the decisions are taken by simple majority (as is probably specified in another article)
