Europe sends delegation to Belgium
Europe sends delegation to Belgium
http :// www .flandersnews.be/cm/de.redactie.english/news/080513 CouncilofEurope
Tue 13/05/08 - A Council of Europe commission is in Belgium to
investigate the failure to appoint 3 mayors in municipalities near
Brussels.
The Council of Europe commission is investigating a conflict between
the Flemish government and the 3 mayors. They have not yet been
officially appointed in their post as mayor (since the last local
council elections in October 2006).
The 3 municipalities in question are Kraainem, Linkebeek and Wezembeek-
Oppem. The three municipalities are in Flanders but due to a large
French-speaking community, they are municipalities with special
linguistic dispensation. They are so-called 'facility municipalities'.

The Council of Europe delegation is composed of an MP from Sweden,
France and Serbia.
They have been talking with various representatives and authorities
from the different administrations in Brussels and surroundings. The
three 'rapporteurs' are meeting with the 3 mayors and the Flemish
Minister authorised to appoint the mayors, Marino Keulen.
The three rapporteurs are also speaking with members of the Brussels,
German-speaking, and federal government. The Flemish parliament and
the Association of Flemish Cities and Municipalities (de Vereniging
van Vlaamse Steden en Gemeenten -VVSG) is also being consulted.
This is the 5th time in 10 years that the Council of Europe is
investigating the rights of minority groups in Belgium. The Council
has already produced reports regarding the rights of Francophones
living in facility municipalities and concerning the linguistic
situation in hospitals in Brussels (where some of the employees do not
speak sufficient Dutch).
The Council of Europe works for European integration with a particular
emphasis on legal standards and the protection of human rights,
democratic development and the rule of law in Europe. As such, the
Council of Europe does not have the competency to mete out penalties.
The reports can however contain political disapproval, thus putting
pressure on the specific authorities involved.

Incidentally, you can now bet on the date you think Belgium will collapse
here: http :// www .wanneergaatbelgiedood.be/
Wanner gaat Belgie dood? This means, roughly, when will Belgium die?
Basically, you enter a date, and if you get it right you'll win your weight
in chips, or frites as they describe them.
Personally, I think it would be also interesting to bet on "if Belgie does
dood, how many people will notice?"
