An ass in Belgium (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

antwerp

'in belgium' is the definition.
('Antwerp' is part of 'belgium')

'an ass' is the wordplay.
'ass' becomes 'twerp' (I've seen this before).
'an'+'twerp'='ANTWERP'

(Other definitions for antwerp that I've seen before include "Major European port" , "9/11 [OLYMPIC VENUE]" , "North Sea port" , "Rent paw out in Belgium" , "foreign city" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
