A quote from the Economist’s blog, 21 Januari 2008

A highlight of the [European Year of Intercultural Dialogue] involves national projects from each of the 27 member countries of the EU, examining linguistic and cultural diversity. Oddly, DPA has noticed, there are 29 of these projects. Why 29? It seems that 26 member nations each contributed one project each. And the last, Belgium, contributed three, entirely separate projects: one from the French-speaking community of Belgium, one from Flemish Dutch-speaking Belgium, and even one from the tiny German-speaking minority that lives in its own enclave in the east of Belgium.
