Number of paratroopers guarding buildings to drop

Published on 25/06/2015

This was decided by key ministers. The decision was taken after the terror alert level was lowered to 2 (coming from 3) for the European institutions and a number of ministries.

The 20 paratroopers guarding the European Union buildings around Schuman will leave, but gradually, to give the EU the chance to look for other guards if necessary.

Other buildings will keep on enjoying a protected status, such as certain government offices, the seat of the federal government in the Wetstraat, Jewish schools and synagogues.
