Brussels the capital of Europe
Since the Member States' decision in 1997 to make Brussels the seat of the European institutions, Brussels has become the Capital of Europe. In the course of successive enlargements, the establishments of European institutions in the Brussels-Capital Region have multiplied, creating a veritable European district there. The political bodies of Europe represented in Brussels: The European Parliament, The Council of the Union, The European Commission, The Economic and Social Committee, The Committee of the Regions and the 8 community agencies (the European Defense Agency (AED ), the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (AEEAC), the Competitiveness and Innovation Executive Agency (EACI), the Community Fisheries Control Agency (CFCA), the European GNSS Supervisory Authority (GSA), Research Executive Agency (REA), European Research Council Executive Agency (CER), Trans-European Transport Network Executive Agency (AERTE-T).)
The Manneken-Pis
Manneken-Pis is located in the heart of Brussels, a stone's throw from the Grand-Place, at the intersection of rue de l'Étuve and rue du Chêne. Since 1965, the statuette present on site is an identical copy of the one designed in 1619-1620 which is preciously kept at the Museum of the City of Brussels located in the Maison du Roi. Manneken-Pis is the most famous symbol of the people of Brussels, he also personifies their sense of humor (zwanze in Brussels) and their independence of mind.
