Question

why was brussels chosen as the headquater during the formation of european union ?

Answer 1

• Brussels has a unique form of government in which both the Dutch and French speaking communities have equal representation
• Apart from Central and State Government, there is a third kind of government in Brussels
• It is community government
• This government was formed by people speaking one language community i.e., Dutch, French, German
• This government has cultural, educational and language powers and can resolve their issues accordingly
• Thus, Belgian model of government was considered as unique because of this division which has not been practiced in any other country so far
• That is why when many countries of Europe came together in forming European Union, Brussels was made the headquarters of this Union
