The French Community of Belgium is sometimes called the French-speaking Community of Belgium, which probably reflects more correctly its nature. ALTERNATIVE NAMINGS The names ''Communauté Wallonie-Bruxelles'' and '''''Communauté française Wallonie-Bruxelles''''' are sometimes used to refer to institutions of the French Community of Belgium or more broadly to institutions which are common to the French Community of Belgium, the , and only in a few official legal texts, such as the "''Arrêté du Gouvernement de la Communauté française fixant le code de qualité et de l'accueil''" of December 17 , 2003 , mentioning the name "''Communauté Wallonie-Bruxelles''", and the "''Arrêté du Gouvernement de la Communauté française approuvant le programme quinquennal de promotion de la santé 2004-2008'' of April 30 , 2004 , mentioning the name "''Communauté française Wallonie-Bruxelles''". These names are contested by some Flemings as it may create confusion about the differences between regional and community institutions. A typical example of this confusion is the interpretation by some that these names refer to the common institutions of the Walloon Region, the Brussels-Capital Region and the COCOF, whereas those names do in fact only refer to the institution of the "French Community of Belgium". Comparison with "Flanders" Another known confusion sometimes arises from the term "Flanders". That name refers to two different political institutions and concepts, being the Flemish Region and the Flemish Community. It is not included in the Belgian constitution either, but more widely used in official publications. On the other hand, that name does not create any "exclusion" towards the other linguistic group in the Brussels-Capital Region, being the French-speakers (exclusion or denial considered by some Flemings as being implicated by the name of ''Communauté Wallonie-Bruxelles'').
