BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Hundreds of taxis jammed central Brussels on Tuesday in a protest against the city's planned reform of the industry that could lead to the legalisation of online ride-sharing services such as Uber.

Brussels' Transport Minister Pascal Smet outlined plans last week for taxi reform in the Belgian capital from the start of 2016, including conditions under which the fast-growing U.S. company Uber could operate.
