"De Buitengewone Algemene Vergadering van 26 juni 2003 heeft gebruik gemaakt van de wettelijke mogelijkheid, zoals gestipuleerd in de Programmawet van 24 december 2002"
"Programme Law" somehow does not sound right. WHo knows the correct term? Is this perhaps "Omnibus Law" ??

Programme law
was so sure it was program act, but since I only found 1 google hit, I decided to double check. using the French loi programme and the Dutch on Eurodicatom, I see it probably is programme law. The French has a better explanation.

FWIW-this seems to be more Belgian than Dutch.

Comment: "Thanks to both of you for the erudite explanations. I'll go with this, also because of the Eurodicautom confirmation (even though they are often not very right either)."

comment re: act vs law
To quote Van den End under the entry 'wet': '(in materiële zin) law; (in formele zin) Act (of Parliament), statute; (A) Act, (A) law;...' [where the (A) is a superscript in the original and indicates US usage].
My take on the relative scarcity of references for 'Act' as a translation in this case is that (a) this is strictly a Belgian phenomenon, so there aren't very many hits anyhow, and (b) there are evidently a lot of people who automatically translate 'wet' as 'law' (and IMHO the English translations you find in Eurodicatom should be treated with caution -- I often have the feeling, at least in areas where I'm familiar with the terminology, that the translations were done be persons who were not familiar with the terminology).

Reference:
the Programmatic Law of 9 July 2004
To add to the confusion, I also just had to translate this, and went looking and found yet a third variation on the theme, "Programmatic Law."
"(...) door een ander nationaal wettelijk voorschrift, namelijk artikel 49 van de programmawet van 9 juli 2004, zonder dat deze rechter de rechtstreekse toepasselijkheid van het gemeenschapsrecht op het bij hem aanhangige geding onmiddellijk kan verzekeren en nog de verenigbaarheid met internationale verdragen kan toetsen, wanneer het Grondwettelijk Hof de nationale wet verenigbaar heeft geacht met de in titel II van de Grondwet gewaarborgde fundamentele rechten?"
"(...), by another national Law, namely Article 49 of the Programmatic Law of 9 July 2004, without that court being able immediately to ensure the direct applicability of Community law to the dispute before it or being able to scrutinise compliance with that convention when the Cour Constitutionnelle has recognised the compatibility of the national law with the fundamental rights guaranteed by Title II of the Constitution?"
