Belgium ETF Could Take Advantage of Undervalued Market

Interesting historical intro, especially under the current political turmoil ! Actually, Flemish and Walloon politicians seem not able to reach an agreement on a necessary constitutional law reform.
155 days after election day (June 10th 2007) there is still no new government formed and Belgium looks like a steerless ship.
King Albert II recently composed a Council of Wise Men, to work out proposals solving this governmental crisis.
Anecdotically, a survey in the Netherlands showed that 55% of the Dutch people would not be opposed to a merger with the Flemish part of Belgium.
The French-speaking Walloons could annex to France, but what would happen to Brussels ? It is already the Center of Europe !
