If an agreement can be found with the city of Ypres and the owner of the site, then the preference of Minister Weyts is that the site is fully protected and that the exposed finds are made structurally accessible to the public.
The N-VA minister wants to carry the one-off costs for the purchase of the site from Flanders, which could cost millions. According to Ben Weyts, the discovery in Ypres fits in perfectly with the story of Flanders and that is worth an investment.
