Influencers must use clear tags (e.g., ""reclame"", ""advertentie"") in the language of the audience, and ensure transparency for consumers, especially minors. The recommendations align with the Belgian Code of Economic Law and EU consumer protection rules. JEP (Jury for Ethical Practices in Advertising) handles complaints and monitors compliance.
