The European Union is part of Belgians’ everyday life in a number of ways.
A number of European institutions, for instance the European Commission and the European Council, employing thousands of European civil servants, are based in Brussels – which is therefore often called ‘the capital of Europe’.
Brussels regularly hosts European Council meetings and summits, as well as plenary sessions of the European Parliament and meetings of European parliamentary committees.
Belgium has always worked to widen and deepen European integration, and Belgian politicians have played a crucial role in the development of the European Union.
All of this means that Europe is very close to Belgians’ hearts.
Belgium also has more comic makers per square km than any other country in the world, even Japan. The Smurfs and the Snorks are also Belgian creations
In 70 years of existence, 200 million books of "The Adventures of Tintin" have been sold worldwide.
