BRUSSELS IS 'EU BURGLARY CAPITAL' !

Burglaries plague Brussels, but car thefts are most common in Italy
Brussels is not only the hub of European Union business - it is also the burglary capital of the EU, according to a new survey.
The Urban Audit report puts Brussels just ahead of London, with 11.2 domestic burglaries per 1,000 residents, among the 27 EU capitals.
The wide-ranging survey by the EU statistical body Eurostat includes various quality-of-life data.
It says Almere in the Netherlands is the EU's fastest-growing city.
The data released on Tuesday was mostly collected in 2004.
Cambridge in the UK tops the list for people employed in the service sector - 94.4%, followed by Luxembourg with 93.3%.
In contrast, Greek cities dominate the list for self-employed people, forming the top eight in that category, followed by two Italian cities. Self-employment is very rare in Scandinavia, with rates below 5%.

All the cities with the highest proportion of elderly people are in Italy, with the sole exception of Lisbon in Portugal.
Five of the 10 fastest-growing cities are in Turkey, but top of the list is Almere in the Netherlands, a city created only in 1984 to accommodate the population overflow from Amsterdam.
