I am a Belgian qualified lawyer and I have been asked to sign the Legal Opinion for adherence to the Scheme of a Belgian Applicant. Do I have to assess whether the Rulebook is legal, valid and binding under Belgian law?

No, you can assume that that the Rulebook is legal, valid and binding as a matter of general Belgian contract law, but your Legal Opinion must cover whether the Applicant would be subject to specific legal constraints, or other legal issues would arise, which would mean that the Applicant would not be bound, or the Rulebook would not be enforceable in its specific case.
