Zaventem, foreigners not so welcome

A journalist from the Brussels weekly magazine The Bulletin phoned subsequently to Haarlemmermeer Town Hall (near Amsterdam Airport) and to the Town Hall of Zaventem (near Brussels Airport) to inquire the possibility to start a bussines over there. He was helped in English at Haarlemmermeer, but at Zaventem nobody could help him out, because the employees were not allowed to speak another language than Dutch. This is a sad story where stupid nationalists are refraining the economic development of Brussels and Belgium as a whole. Zaventem is the Belgian International Airport. A friendly gentleman has scanned the weekly for me. Look at the scans below.
