Flanders is to put aside the idea of the road tax sticker. This was announced by Flemish Prime Minister Yves Leterme (Christian democrat) during his visit to his Dutch counterpart Jan Peter Balkenende. Yesterday, Mr Leterme and the Flemish Minister for International Policy Geert Bourgeois (Flemish nationalist) visited the Catshuis, Prime Minister Balkenende's official residence in The Hague. In The Hague, the Flemish Prime Minister did not give any further information but it does seem that the notion of the road tax sticker has been put aside entirely. The road tax sticker will in all probability be replaced by a clever "pay-as-you-drive system".
The Flemish are going their own way on car taxation and deciding for themselves. So should the Senedd.

I agree. The Welsh should do how they would like to do it! In Germany you do not have a tax sticker on the front screen!!
