It's kinda funny because in French, it depends on the situation.

If it's a French decision, you say "Matignon has done x" with Matignon being the home France's President. If it's local, you say "the mayor" , and if its European, you say Brussels.

In Canada, if it's federal, you say Carey's government, if it's provincial the name of the prime minister, or the name of the party and if its local, you use the mayor's name.

But in this situation, the ECB cited in the article is in Germany, not Brussels, with a high independence from the EU, but yes, with the Parliament in Brussels.

So I was downvoted because I asked why OP mentioned Brussels just to be sure that is wasn't the usual "eu bad" post.

Cunningham's law in action I guess.
