## About this plate

SHORT-DURATION TEMPORARY PLATES UNDER THE NATIONAL FORMAT, 01-10-2001 to 14-11-2010: red ground, white digits, no index, no European band, and a month-only vignette rather than the day-and-month pair used from 2021. The transit/provisional split is worth carrying into any parse model because it is FISCAL, not operational: arrete royal art. 1, 4° defines a transit registration as one where the FPS Finance has granted exemption from import duty and VAT (or VAT alone), and art. 1, 5° defines a provisional registration as one where it has not.
