The Internationale Scheldecommissie / Commission Internationale de l’Escaut
is, as the webpage proclaims, "an intergovernmental body for sustainable
management of the Scheldt river district".
Web-site: http://www.isc-cie.org/
Starting out as the International Commission for the Protection of the River
Scheldt (Treaty of Charleville-Mézières, 1995), the ISC was defined by the
Treaty of Ghent, 2002. The territory concerned consists naturally of the
river’s bed and tributaries but also includes the local seacoast.
Partly interactive map of the area (here, the parties to the treaty), with more

Second item on first row (clickable) of the
small flag images represents the International Scheldt Commission, the
secretariat of which is established at Antwerp, Belgium:
The six parties involved show their flag - besides France, Belgium and the
Netherlands it is important to know that the three Belgian regions Wallonia,
Flanders, and Brussels have - to the extent of their competences - the right to
sign international treaties. Each country or region, in turn, exercises the
chairmanship for two years.
Commision’s flag: white, the logo placed
in the centre above serifed dark blue acronyms "ISC SCI" placed in a bow. The
logo itself is made up of six waves placed in a circle, the one at upper light
being light blue and the others gradually (clockwise) becoming darker.
