Belgium
lies at the
political heart
of the European
Union and it
is the most
cosmopolitan
of all EU states.
This may go
some way to
explaining its
strongly free-market
approach to
businesses wishing
to set up a
company in Belgium.
The authorities
impose relatively
few restrictions
on foreign companies
operating within
the country.
