Which Belgian city is home to the European Commission's main building, the Berlaymont?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Brussels, in the European Quarter
- Step 1: With the number of European civil servants rapidly growing since their arrival in Brussels in 1958, the Commission of the European Economic Community required progressively more office space across the city. Answer: Brussels, in the European Quarter. Why not the others: None of these fit: Ghent, in the old city; Antwerp, in the harbour area; Bruges, in the historic centre.
