They don't. CFMU is in Brussels, they're the people that sort out flight plans and take-off times to make sure it's not a mess up there, and you're not queueing JFK-style for hours on taxiway A; but CFMU is staffed by employees of any Eurocontrol member state.

MUAC is responsible for airspace above FL245 over BeNeLux and northern Germany, but this is in Maastricht, and again staffed by members of all Eurocontrol member states.

As a former employee, I strongly resent being referred to as Belgian.
