"Mr President, it is exactly six months today since the federal parliamentary elections in Belgium took place. I need to point this out, because we have never before been in a situation where an EU Presidency has been held by a caretaker government for the full six months.
The Council is not politically represented here today. That is slightly unfortunate, because this surreal situation is worth mentioning. The artificial construct that is Belgium is still as ungovernable today as it was six months ago and there is nothing that can be done about that, because Flanders and Wallonia have evolved into two different countries with totally different political and socio-economic cultures.
Mr President, the situation in Belgium has reached a total impasse, so much so that the European Union had better prepare itself for the emergence of two new Member States: Flanders and Wallonia."@en1
