	Situation of the French-speaking population living in the Brussels periphery
		The situation was aggravated by the government of the Flemish Region which challenged the regime of linguistic facilities in six of the communes in question, and aimed at reducing, or indeed eliminating totally the use of French on Flemish territory.
		Flemish politicians stress that the legislator did not want to install bilingualism in these communes, that the length of the "transitional period" in which the facilities have to be offered to the French-speaking residents has never been fixed, and that the facilities might thus eventually be abolished.
		Flemish politicians seem to view the problem of the six communes on the Brussels-periphery as an outflow of the perceived problem of Brussels itself.
