Yes, even two Coronavirus-rulebooks. For example: shopping was briefly forbidden in Belgium but still allowed in the Netherlands, so they had to close off half of the store. It was an inconvenience for shoppers who needed something from that side of the store.

And F2 which you can only buy and on 29,30 and 31 and legally light on 31st of december after 6pm until 2am. this year because of the pandemic F2 isnt allowed bc some people get injured with it, and they need all the space for critical covid patients. Of course other sick people and people that are giving birth can be taken into the hospital.
@@owkay_1 In Germany some people cross the border to Poland to purchase fireworks there. However the problem is that freedom of transportation of EU doesn't mean that everything that is legal in one country is legal in the other. So if you buy fireworks that is for example stronger than permitted in Germany you might face criminal charges for possession of explosives. Or if you purchase weed in the netherlands and cross the border you can get in trouble as well. Did they actually prohibit ignition of firework in the Netherlands on last 31th December or just selling? In Germany they just banned selling firworks nationwide but not ignition. Some cities banned ignition at public sides though. But you could still ignite fireworks on private property if anything was left from the previous year.

It's not a matter of religions in Belgium. It's rather a different approach to the way of doing things in Germanic and Romance cultures and it's a row between languages. Hard to solve with a majority of 60 to 40 per cent in favour of Dutch/Flemish when the dominating language of wider international acknowledgement is actually French.

It's easy for these two sides to coexist because they are both part of the EU, they both use the euro, they both speak Dutch as this Belgian side speaks Dutch and they both have friendly relations
Right however you forgot one thing. Both of the countries are in the Benelux (Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg) and that makes us an even closer union then Europe. For example: the Dutch police is permitted to perform an arrest in Belgium. If we're both at war the Dutch and Belgian navy will be under one and the same command and we're even talking about combining our military completely. So it's way more then the Euro, it's the Benelux
It's easy because they are both EU countries. That's an insightful statement. Do you know the African Union? It's easy because they both use the euro. I have no idea what you are trying to say. So what? Pesos dollars fkkn yens.. money is money. They do speak the same language and they are friendly towards eachother but that is the fkkn point u nimwit!
@@johanneswk never heard of this. You got a link? Belgian navy being absorbed? Also the Benelux pact was a cold war thing, it doesn't really exist anymore. If it does it's just some economical agreements. The Dutch police can also enter German space.. so that argument is also void. Being neighbours is just that, it's a 2streak relationship
@@tomsan589 Benelux was started as an economic union between Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg. The union was an inspiration for the European Coal and Steel Community, which eventually grew into the European Union. Eventually the union also included a political and military (Navy) portion. The combined operation of our navies is just one example. Another is the fact that there is only one trademarks office for the Benelux. Today with the talks in Europe about choosing to keep either summer or winter time, our governments have decided that whatever happens in europe, the Benelux will use the same timezone.

Yellow Penguin officially possible, i speak from experience when I say that Belgian or Dutch police would detain you on either side of the border since long before the treaty.
well this used to be a real issue in these towns. Most famous is the old bank that had sort of a sliding vault door. when Belgian cops came they simply moved the door to the dutch part and vice versa. That way they never got to check the vault and the finances of their clients. Nowadays the Police forces work together so things like that cant really happen annymore.
there used to be smugglers that had the traditional Dutch wooden shoes, but with the bottom mounted backwards, so that the police followed the track to the wrong country.
i asked this to my friend, he is a officer in the netherlands. He said till some years ago it was possible. People always tried to escape to Germany or belgium. The police couldnt do anything. Now they allowed to keep following you, but they not allowed to arrest you (But they can get permision to arrest you, on the official police forum it says they can arrest up to 5-10km from the border. They have to wait for the police from the other country do to that. There are a lot of storys with people that escaped. i have a friend who did it 4 months ago, drived without car plate. and in germany he parked somewhere put on his plates back and so on. Dont ask me why cuz idk lol. But yes its possible

Funny as it may sound, that's kind of how it really goes. As you saw the enclave is located in Dutch territory but houses a lot of Belgians, so while Dutch cell signals are strongest (for the most part), every Belgian carrier runs one or several base stations too. I can tell you, driving around this town is a surefire way to receive oodles of those texts.

They are both in Flanders, that's more important than the border and two different countries - that's just a formality. Flemish food. I know it was a joke but people doesn't seem to understand things like this.
This town has a store that is situated in two countries. Part of the store had to be closed during the corona pandemic because the building was located in the Belgian part and the law said that stores in Belgium had to close during the pandemic. So they hang a huge safety ribbon so people couldn't "access" that part of the Building.
Difference is not half of Belgium would come to the Netherlands for economical reasons if they had a chance. Why are you Americans so against controlled immigration? We might be friendly with our neighbours but we don't tolerate illegal immigrants either in the Netherlands. Respect the rules of the country and come legally, or don't come at all.
I go there about every summer, as my grandparents own a cabin there. Well, the cabin is in the Netherlands, but the garden in Belgium. You really never know what country you're in haha. Edit: Also, my grandpa is really popular over there XD He always gets greeted no matter where he goes. So, if you see an old man with a bright blue baseball cap riding a bike, it's probably my gran! :)
My brother lives there and it's a cool place to visit. The Dutch and Belgians really like each other, speak the same language and live in peace. Sure, food is slightly different but delicious on each side.
Just to give some inside, Im belgian and in cafés the you get a card and with every beer you drink from the tap they put a mark on the card and when you leave you pay all the beer you've drank.
The Belgians need to go to school further south, in "main" Belgium. As a result there is no influence of Netherlands Dutch. Though the Dutch and Belgian Brabantian dialects of that region are very close, historically the whole territory belonged to the Duchy of Brabant.

It's easy for these two sides to coexist because they are both part of the EU, they both use the euro, they both speak Dutch as this Belgian side speaks Dutch and they both have friendly relations
I’d say it’s important for others to make the effort to unite such things, then.
Right however you forgot one thing. Both of the countries are in the Benelux (Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg) and that makes us an even closer union then Europe. For example: the Dutch police is permitted to perform an arrest in Belgium. If we're both at war the Dutch and Belgian navy will be under one and the same command and we're even talking about combining our military completely. So it's way more then the Euro, it's the Benelux
It's easy because they are both EU countries. That's an insightful statement. Do you know the African Union? It's easy because they both use the euro. I have no idea what you are trying to say. So what? Pesos dollars fkkn yens.. money is money. They do speak the same language and they are friendly towards eachother but that is the fkkn point u nimwit!
@@johanneswk never heard of this. You got a link? Belgian navy being absorbed? Also the Benelux pact was a cold war thing, it doesn't really exist anymore. If it does it's just some economical agreements. The Dutch police can also enter German space.. so that argument is also void. Being neighbours is just that, it's a 2streak relationship
@@tomsan589
Benelux was started as an economic union between Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg. The union was an inspiration for the European Coal and Steel Community, which eventually grew into the European Union. Eventually the union also included a political and military (Navy) portion.
The combined operation of our navies is just one example. Another is the fact that there is only one trademarks office for the Benelux.
Today with the talks in Europe about choosing to keep either summer or winter time, our governments have decided that whatever happens in europe, the Benelux will use the same timezone.
We're a little more than just neighbours.

Belgian police: We have a warrant for your arrest!
Dude: sprints five feet to the netherlands
Yellow Penguin officially possible, i speak from experience when I say that Belgian or Dutch police would detain you on either side of the border since long before the treaty.
well this used to be a real issue in these towns. Most famous is the old bank that had sort of a sliding vault door. when Belgian cops came they simply moved the door to the dutch part and vice versa. That way they never got to check the vault and the finances of their clients. Nowadays the Police forces work together so things like that cant really happen annymore.
That's why there's the European Arrest Warrant!
there used to be smugglers that had the traditional Dutch wooden shoes, but with the bottom mounted backwards, so that the police followed the track to the wrong country.
i asked this to my friend, he is a officer in the netherlands. He said till some years ago it was possible. People always tried to escape to Germany or belgium. The police couldnt do anything. Now they allowed to keep following you, but they not allowed to arrest you (But they can get permision to arrest you, on the official police forum it says they can arrest up to 5-10km from the border. They have to wait for the police from the other country do to that. There are a lot of storys with people that escaped. i have a friend who did it 4 months ago, drived without car plate. and in germany he parked somewhere put on his plates back and so on.

The Belgians need to go to school further south, in "main" Belgium. As a result there is no influence of Netherlands Dutch. Though the Dutch and Belgian Brabantian dialects of that region are very close, historically the whole territory belonged to the Duchy of Brabant.
Still i hear the Belgian mayor speak with a heavy dutch accent.
