" dontdoit " : do not mix up a normal request to dump fuel with an emergency situation .

What "elcapo" said for the Belgian/Lux FIR is correct : if you make a request to ATC to dump fuel , you will be directed over the North sea, in a special area.
But if you declare an emergency , you can dump where ever you like, and at the altitude you like.
