Produktbeschreibung

The municipalities with language facilities, occasionally called municipalities with linguistic facilities or shortly municipalities with facilities are municipalities in Belgium with special law provisions to protect rights of their linguistic minorities. They are so-called municipalities with a special status. The translation commune with linguistic facilities can also be found. Basically, in these municipalities it is possible to relate with the local and federal administration, in one official language other than that of the language area within which the municipality lies. For instance, in those municipalities, French-speakers in Flanders and Dutch-and German-speakers in Wallonia, and French-speakers in the German language area may obtain administrative documents from local public authorities or from certain federal authorities in their mother tongue. In addition, legislation on municipalities also provides for equal public funding for primary schools for the language minority, as well as information in the minority language from the national railway company. For public services and documents from intermediate authorities such rights do not exist
