Belgium's three regions announced on Friday that they would introduce a road tax next year that foreign drivers transiting the country would also have to pay.

The country does not currently charge drivers to use its highways and the issue of introducing some form of payment has been debated for years.

"Everyone who uses our roads must contribute fairly to their maintenance," said the transport minister for the southern Wallonia region, François Desquesnes.
