Flemish Brabant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The fact that Halle-Vilvoorde surrounds Brussels (which is officially bilingual but whose inhabitants mostly speak French) makes for an interesting mix of both languages. The district Halle-Vilvoorde has Brussels in its middle. Other such special municipalities can be found along the border between Flanders and Wallonia, and between Wallonia and the German-speaking area of Belgium. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Flemish_Brabant

Flemish Questions:Judicial District Of course, the unified judicial district of Brussel-Halle-Vilvoorde provides Dutch-speaking judges to the Flemish living in Brussel, but there are some notable drawbacks too, in particular at the court and at the public prosecutor. Even though the characteristics of Brussel and Halle-Vilvoorde differ a lot, Brussel being a city and Halle-Vilvoorde more a rural area, the public prosecutor treats cases coming from Halle-Vilvoorde in the same way as he treats cases coming from Brussel. This means that most cases from Halle-Vilvoorde simply are ignored, and over 95% of all cases that do come up are therefore French-spoken. home.online.no /~vlaenen/flemish_questions/quste48.html

Politics of Belgium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Each district is given a number of seats proportional to its population (not number of voters) ranging from 4 for the Luxembourg district to 22 for Brussels. Moreover, the regions and communities were provided additional revenue, and Brussels was given its own legislative assembly and executive. That allows French-speaking candidates from Brussels and Wallonia (thus from outside the Flemish region and from outside the constitutional Dutch-only area) to attract votes from outside their electoral district. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Politics_of_Belgium

RVi Thuis in de Wereld 10/05/04 - Around 13,000 people on Sunday took part in a demonstration at Halle (Flemish Brabant) in support of demands to split the constituency of Brussels-Halle-Vilvoorde. At the rally in Halle, Mayor Leo Peeters of the Flemish socialist SP.A party called on all Flemish politicians to support the demand for a split of the constituency. The Mayors say their demand for a split of the constituency is backed by the Court of Arbitration, which is the highest judicial body in matters of conflict between Belgium's communities and language groups. www.rvi.be /rvi_master/uk/detail_1614_958350.uri/index.html

Financial scandal hits BBTK/SETCa trade union The appointment of the provisional administrator was revoked so that the national BBTK/SETCa could again take over the supervision of its Brussels-Halle-Vilvoorde section and thus organise the clean-up of the section itself. In early September 2002, the Brussels court of appeal rejected Mr Faust’s claims. www.eiro.eurofound.ie /2003/01/Feature/BE0301301F.html

The Flemish Republic Despite the Constitution, however, 35 Flemish municipalities surrounding Brussels, the so-called Halle-Vilvoorde region, have remained part of the bilingual Brussels constituency. It wanted Flanders to become bilingual (Dutch and French), while Wallonia was to remain exclusively Francophone. This city was historically Dutch speaking, but became predominantly Francophone during the 175 years of Belgium’s existence. www.flemishrepublic.org /current_issue.php?id=21

EUROPA - Regional Policy Inforegio Almost a third of jobless people in the area do not speak Flemish (the language of the region); Halle-Vilvoorde is also highly dependent for employment on Brussels. Halle-Vilvoorde covers a region of 35 municipalities in an arc surrounding part of Brussels.

Flemish Questions:Brussels-Halle-Vilvoorde The logical solution would be to simply split it up into two new districts, namely Brussels and Halle-Vilvoorde. Besides that, there is also a huge difference between the more rural character of Halle-Vilvoorde and the city of Brussels and its environs. The result of this is a district that is in part bilingual and in part strictly monolingual, and it is so big that it cannot be handled properly anymore. home.online.no /~vlaenen/flemish_questions/quste06.html

Live From Brussels: May 2004 Just to avoid any future invasion: there are no WMD's or oil wells in Brussels, although we *could* do with a bit more democracy and free speech... They know little about Belgian linguistic politics and laws, but that doesn't stop them from calling one side facists and denouncing the other side for speaking French. I'm finally back in the blogosphere, after two weeks well spent at home with wife and daughter. maarten.typepad.com /brusselsblog/2004/05/index.html

¤ Conform-mystik & Sub-versive ¤: May 2003 Als mijn analyse goed is, verliezen we in het kiesarrondissement Brussel Halle Vilvoorde 2 (twee!) zitjes in de Kamer, … 2 van de 11, dat is 10% die de Franstaligen binnenrijven. Brussels is a country, to the North of the Netherlands, to the East of Germany, and to the south of France, it is bordered by Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, North Korea and Libya. It's the capital of such obsolete and vetuste institutions as the European Commission (on what?), NATO, the Belgian Federal Parliament, the Flemish regional Parliament, the Brussels Regional Parliament, and the 19 independant guerillero urban communities that refuse to sign cooperation agreements. www.wacondah.com /blog/2003_05_01_wacondah_archive.html

Webstercc.com: Belgium The Brussels Capital Region (Brussels Hoofdstedelijk Gewest in Dutch, Région de Bruxelles-Capitale in French, Die Region Brüssel-Hauptstadt in German) This federal region is centrally located and completely surrounded by the province of Flemish Brabant. In 1948, Belgium signed the Treaty of Brussels with Great Britain, France, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg, and one year later became one of the founding members of the Atlantic Alliance. The official language is Dutch, although French may be used by the inhabitants of six so-called municipalities with facilities (faciliteitengemeenten in Dutch) around the Brussels Capital Region. www.worldwidewebfind.com /Belgium.html
