Six Countries with Negative Yields

FT listed six countries with negative yields on government bonds:
For Swiss, Danish, German, Austrian, Dutch and Finnish government bonds investors have to pay interest in order to invest in their 2 year government bonds. Also, the yields in France and Belgium are barely in positive territory.
Investors are eager to pay for safe havens as an alternative for money on (unsafe) bank accounts.
