La STIB entre contraintes budg taires et r gionales
Article Abstract:
In 1993, the Belgian federal government and the Brussels-capital region signed a cooperation agreement whereby the Federal Government would take charge of part of Brussels infrastructure in order to promote the city's international function. Under this agreement, the Federal Government agreed to grant BFr 2bn in aid until 1999. This aid was increased by BFr 45mn in 1994, BFr 40mn in 1998 and will be increased by BFr 80mn in 1999. However, Herv Hasquin, who is in charge of Brussels' transport and infrastructure, feels that these increases are insufficient and hopes for a BFr 600mn rise. Several work projects were financed under this Government-Region agreements: improvements in the Brussels-Nord railroad station, the Belliard-Schuman-Cortenbergh road tunnel was constructed, and two new metro stations - Heysel and Roi Baudouin were built.
