speaking of Belgian companies, does anyone know the rules for squeeze-outs?

I own a Belgian stock (Picanol) with insider ownership of around 90%.  While I doubt the CEO ever takes it private, I would still like to know what the rules are in Belgium regarding this.  For example, are there any circumstances under which an insider could force a squeeze-out?  what % of the shares have to vote in favor for a squeeze-out to happen?  could the squeeze-out price ever be lower than the current price?

 

Also, do Belgian public companies ever go dark (i.e. stop reporting financials)?
