	Belgium: Communities and Regions - K12 Academics
		The overlapping boundaries of the Regions and Communities have created two notable peculiarities: the territory of the Brussels-Capital Region is included in both Flemish and French Communities, and the territory of the German-speaking Community lies wholly within the Walloon Region.
		Flemish and Walloon regions are furthermore subdivided in administrative entities, the provinces.
		The third tier is the Regional governments, who manage mostly land and property based issues such as housing, transportation etc. For example, the building permit for a school building in Brussels belonging to the public school system would be regulated by the regional government of Brussels.

	Discrimination in access to employment on grounds of foreign origin : the case of Belgium - International migration
		In none of the three regions could the effect of variables relating to the size of the enterprise, type of firm, duration of contract, working hours systems, remuneration, working conditions be dealt with, as over 40% of the data concerning these variables were unavailable.
		In the Brussels-Capital Region, the data collected show that, proportionally, the rate of discrimination is not connected with the type of contact through which the differential treatment is expressed, and that it is still higher than the critical rate, whether the contact is oral, visual or written.
		In the Brussels Region, it was observed that such behaviour usually took the form of distortion of the procedure and the false statement, and that it was particularly apparent when the requirement of bilingualism was under consideration and when a decision was taken in respect of placing the applicant on a reserve file.

	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.
		One Flemish politician told me that the reason why this part of the Court’s judgment had not been applied, was that the situation of the communes with facilities had changed, since they no longer constituted a separate administrative district, but had been incorporated into the monolingual Flemish Region in 1970.

	Flemish Translation Services - English to Flemish Translations
		Since the Flemish parliamentary assembly, the Vlaams Parlement, united its regional and community institutions immediately after they were established by the Belgian legislator, the word 'Flanders' refers to either the Flemish people (or nation), or to its political institutions.
		The ensemble of Dutch dialects spoken in Belgium is often referred to as Flemish (Vlaams in Dutch), although the standard language used in Flanders is the same as in the Netherlands, Dutch.
		Part of the confusion between "Flemish" and Dutch may stem from the fact that Dutch was banned from official life in Belgium during the 19th century and the early years of the 20th.
