belgian citizenship??

[fatto]

hello !

I am a non-EU citizen and residing in Belgium as a spouse of a Belgian citizen (originally Belgian) since 1 year. I have a question on obtaining belgian citizenship. In a Belgian official website, I noticed following statement on "Acquiring Belgian nationality on the basis of a spouse's Belgian nationality":

"The married couple must have lived together in Belgium for at least 3 years. This period is reduced to 6 months if, at the time of the declaration, for the past three years or more, the foreign spouse had been authorised to reside in the country for more than 3 months or to settle there. The deadline applies starting from the date of the marriage."

I had also resided in Belgium to work in the European Commission as a trainee (stagiere) for 5 months with a 6 month (A.S.P) visa in 2002. In this case, do you think the above statement applies to me? Since I already lived with my wife more than 6 months, may I now apply for citizenship?

I would be so pleased if you could answer.

Thanks Elfa for your helpful comment. Indeed yes I had taken it from their website and it seems soon I will apply. The only thing I am worried would be belgian officals' flexibility to implement written regulations but I will show that piece of legislation to them and make them convinced anyway.

Thanks
