	Alexander Fuehr. The Neutrality of Belgium. 1915. Chapter Four.
		When the said convention expired in 1901, a bill was passed by the Brussels Parliament reaffirming Belgium's right of annexing the Congo State and suspending the payment of interest on the Belgian loans granted to it until its ultimate annexation.
		In this era of international compacts, open alliances or secret conventions, it seems at first sight not unnatural that Belgium, situated between three powerful rival neighbors, should resort to the means of a military convention to increase thereby her capacity of defending her territory against hostile invasion.
		Thus Belgium's status as a neutralized country made it, to use the words of The Times, "impracticable to enter into any conversation or arrangement, military or other, which would insure her the rapid and effective support of her English friends."(48)

		We hope the Commission and Council will at least respond to the concerns raised by Parliament the next time, in order to avoid this sort of backlash in the future.
		I also hope that it will encourage the Council and Commission to model after the European Parliament in terms of transparency and the ability of stakeholders to participate in the decision-making process irrespective of their size.
