Some art on display at the European Council in Brussels is breeding quite the controversy. The art by the Czech Artist David Cerny lampoons each of the EU member states national stereotypes. Some of the highlights:
* France is portrayed as a country on habitual strike.
* Italy as a football pitch.
* Romania as a Dracula styled theme-park.
* Luxembourg as a piece of small lump of gold for sale.
* Bulgaria as a toilet.
* the Netherlands as a series of minarets submerged by a flood.
