– The European Court of Justice sentenced the Kingdom of Belgium to a fine of 10 million euros due to failed water purification treatment in Wallonia and Brussels regions. It is the second time that Belgium will be fined by the European Court for lack of waste water treatment. The European Commission has noted several shortcomings and overdue works when it dragged Belgium in the autumn of 2011 before the Court .

– Belgian members of Parliament David Geerts and Karin Temmerman (Socialist Party) filed a proposed bill for the abolition of the bicycle surcharge of five euros for a single journey. In the House, they will ask Minister of Public Enterprises Jean-Pascal Labille to take concrete steps.

According to Geerts and Temmerman, the bike is a convenient alternative to travel between home and the station or the station and work. This will also encourage more people including tourists to bring and use their bikes instead of cars.
