Hi,

a few dozen Belgian municipalities (ADM4) have been merged recently, most of them also got a new name and a new EU LAU code ("lauc" codes in the alternate names)

Official source with French names (with old and new lauc codes):
- https://statbel.fgov.be/fr/propos-de-statbel/methodologie/classifications/geographie

Dutch names (with old and new lauc codes):
- https://statbel.fgov.be/nl/over-statbel/methodologie/classificaties/geografie

The manual doesn't seem to explain how to merge existing municipalities, so I guess it is an advanced topic / something that needs to be done by an experienced geonamer

Could someone take a look at it ? Thanks.

Best regards

Bart
