BRUSSELS — The Brussels court of appeal ruling on Tuesday ordering a better spread of noise pollution around Zaventem Airport has sparked a new round of regional squabbling.

Brussels Premier Charles Picqué is refusing to abide by the ruling, prompting an angry response from the Flemish Minister for Brussels Bert Anciaux.

"The noise pollution regulations are not the problem, but the flight dispersal plan we use," Picqué said on Wednesday night.

He proposed temporarily returning to the plan used prior to 1999 when a different flight dispersal and concentration plan was used.
