Abstract
Since the late 1950s, Belgian public policy toward foreign investment has been to welcome and encourage it. There are very good reasons for such a policy. The country is a small one; it has practically (apart from coal) no natural resources and national industry is not, on its own, able to provide for the full employment social policy demands. On the other hand, the country is well-situated within the European Common Market, and it is therefore very attractive to those foreign investors who wish to enter that market.
