	Municipalities with linguistic facilities - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For instance, in those municipalities, French-speakers in Flanders and Dutch-and German-speakers in Wallonia, and French-speakers in the German language area may obtain administrative documents from local public authorities or from certain federal authorities in their mother tongue.
		The German-speaking minority was mostly settled in the 'Eastern Cantons', several Prussian municipalities ceded to Belgium by the 1919 Treaty of Versailles and administered from 1920 to 1925 by a Belgian military High Commissionner.
		For the facilities in the municipalities with historic minorities on the Walloon-Flemish border, there is still a willingness to consider maintaining them on condition of reciprocity (that these facilities are also re-established in practice in the corresponding Walloon cities).

	CJEAP: Denominational/Linguistic Education Quebec
		From the outset of the proposal to establish linguistic school boards throughout the province, the government was adamant that the restrictive guidelines that they had established were to be met by all boards, regardless of their circumstances.
		While the Linguistic School Boards Act of 1997 explicitly stated that the implementation of the new system was to be achieved by July 1, 1998, in the interim period, provisional councils were to be established to facilitate this transition from denominational to linguistic.
		Since the new linguistic board was a result of a merger of the former Gaspesia and the Islands School Board, the School Board of Greater Seven Islands, the Baie Comeau Dissentient Board, and Métis Beach, among the most pressing of all the issues was the location of the central office.

	To speak or not to speak, Fernand de Varennes
		It should also be pointed out that whilst linguistic minorities are entitled to freely open and operate their own private minority schools, this does not prevent the state from requiring that all pupils acquire some knowledge of the official or majority language of the country.
		These political divisions ensure that the larger linguistic communities have control over public schools and other institutions of learning, and thus ultimately they are in a position to ensure that most inhabitants can have their primary language used as medium of instruction in state schools.
		The rights of linguistic minorities include a panoply of protections which have mainly emerged with the strengthened acceptance in the second half of this century of a "faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small".

		We argue that the most recent round of municipal reform and regional institution-building is a continued reaction to the fiscal crisis of the State and that it lays the groundwork for a downloading of responsibilities from central to local government.
		Then it reformed municipal financing by abolishing local school taxes -- schools were to be financed entirely from general provincial revenues -- and giving that taxing power to the municipalities, a move that essentially doubled their local revenue potential.
		Municipalities are seen as ill-equipped to meet these challenges because they are held to be often too small, too inefficient, and too prone to competing rather than collaborating with each other.

	World congress on language policies
		In reviewing their policy responses to linguistic pluralism, it is necessary to remember that each one of them has gone through a number of different phases of development, reflective of their different cultural traditions and adaptations to political conditions prevailing at that time.
		The whole approach was based upon the assumption that linguistic transmission would be short-lived and that a language restricted in usage to the home would become extinct in subsequent generations, without disturbing the monolingual texture of society as a whole.
		Linguistic erosion at community level (as revealed by census data from 1976 to1996) is best demonstrated by the shift away from the use of community languages towards 'English only' in the home of the second generation Australians of minority ethnic background (Clyne and Kipp, 1997).

	flandersonline.org - Belgian Council of State restricting language facilities for French-speaking people in Flanders
		Pursuant to these language facilities, people are entitled to receive official documents in their own language on demand, even though they live in an area, the official language of which is a different one.
		These facilities were initially meant as a transitional measure to facilitate people's integration, after the linguistic areas had been established by law in the early 1960s.
		The application of these facilities for French-speaking people in Flanders has often given rise to political tensions between the Dutch-speaking and French-speaking communities, as language facilities are basically at odds with the country's territorial division and French-speaking people aren't always prone to adapt, when settling down in the officially Dutch-speaking area.

	MINELRES: Belgian Linguistic Case (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The Act of 14th July 1932 was applicable to "nursery schools and municipal adopted or adoptable primary schools", to "establishments governed by the organic law on secondary education" (upper and lower secondary schools) and to "primary classes (preparatory sections) attached to secondary schools" (Sections 1, 8, 14 and 18).
		In the Brussels urban area and bilingual communes on the linguistic boundary, the language of instruction was to be the child's maternal or usual language; teaching of the second national language was to be compulsory (Sections 5, 6, 12, 13, 18, 19 and 22).
		Consequently, the cultural and linguistic preferences of parents are in no way comprised within "religious and philosophical convictions" so that the second sentence of Article 2 (P1-2) does not safeguard "the right of parents to have their children taught in the language of their choice".

	Protection of minorities in Belgium
		The French-speaking inhabitants of the Brussels periphery, and in particular their political representatives, were showing little willingness to recognise that they lived in communes with linguistic facilities situated in a monolingual region, not a bilingual region, and were continuing – as their Flemish counterparts – to use the conflict for political ends.
		It is thus in the context of the decentralisation of the Belgian state, and the wide powers especially of the three communities in the area of minority rights, that the existence of national minorities in Belgium at all levels must be assessed.
		As of 1962-1963, people belonging to a different linguistic group than that of the relevant Region of certain fringe communes (those contiguous to a different linguistic region) are granted special status (linguistic facilities), i.e.

		This was done by the Act of 23 December 1970, which explicitly placed the six districts in the Dutch-language region, at the same time maintaining in their entirety the facilities accorded by the law to the French-speaking inhabitants.
		This being so and having regard to the aim pursued, in the general interest, of promoting the cultural homogeneity of the linguistic regions, it is legitimate for French-language education provided in these districts to be restricted to French-speaking children living there with their parents.
		Several years ago, for similar reasons, the same school language facilities were made available in 65 other communes situated in one linguistic region but close to a different one.

		A more multinational market would enhance the speed of growth of self-storage facilities in Europe; however, European cities with a large concentration of facilities have a higher occupancy rate that increases significantly as the number of facilities grows.
		Often, the only choice to build a facility is to convert a pre-existing building, which means dealing with several zoning and jurisdictional problems.
		If a facility for sale is in month-on-month operating profit and 65 percent to 70 percent occupied, the buyer and seller both win.
