Remarks

Replaces ETRS89-BEL [BEREF2002] / Lambert 2005 (CRS code 3447). Coordinates referenced to ETRS89-BEL [BEREF2002] / Lambert 2008 differ from coordinates referenced to BD72 / Lambert 1972 (CRS code 31370) by approximately 500km in easting and northing. Replaced by ETRS89-BEL [BEREF2011] / Lambert 2008 (CRS code 11219).
