Belgium bans Uber, threatens €10,000 fine for each attempted pickup

A Brussels court has declared Uber to be illegal in Belgium, saying the company will be fined €10,000 for every violation. The UberPOP ride-sharing service has been on shaky ground there since its February launch, with the government even seizing vehicles. As in France, taxi drivers are taking umbrage with the company since its drivers don't have to pay for pricey licenses.
