France Bets All on Picking Winners - Rules for Winning the Pole Position 24 June 2005 by Peggy Hollinger When Dominique de Villepin took the podium for his first big speech as France's new prime minister earlier this month, the charismatic poet-turned-politician set out his plan to fight the country's crippling unemployment problem. At the heart of his strategy was reviving France's ability to innovate - the key to enhancing competitiveness and economic growth. "We have to find a way to better exploit the considerable potential of our country, of our universities, our industrial base and our research labs," he told the deputies gathered in the ornate surroundings of the National Assembly. In the 19 days since that speech, Mr de Villepin has doubled the funding planned for the recently created Agency for Industrial Innovation from Euros 500m (Pounds 333m) to Euros 1bn and given an extra Euros 350m to the new National Research Agency. "At a time when the construction of Europe is going through one of the most difficult periods in its history," he said, "more than ever we need concrete projects and a vision for the future."

UNITED STATES POLICY TOWARD FRANCE AND THE FRENCH PEOPLE (Text of a note dated April 13, 1942, from the Acting Secretary of State to His Excellency Gaston Henry-Haye, Ambassador of the French Republic.) Dept. of State Bulletin , issue of April 18, 1942. EXCELLENCY: I have received Your Excellency's communication of April 9, 1942, containing certain observations of the French Government at Vichy with regard to the announcement of a Consulate General of the United States at Brazzaville. In this connection Your Excellency informs me that your Government trusts that the Government of the United States will make it known publicly that this step on the part of the United States should not be interpreted as having any political implications, and that it should likewise not be interpreted as being a step in derogation of the "exclusive rights of the French Government over the territory in question." The considerations advanced in the communication addressed to me by Your Excellency provide an appropriate and welcome opportunity for the Government of the United States to reiterate with the utmost clarity its policy with regard to France and with regard to the French people. From the earliest days of the independence of the United States of America the relations between the people of France and the people of the United States have been founded upon ties of more than ordinary friendship and confidence. The Government of France, and many citizens of France, assisted the people of the United States in achieving their freedom. The great principles of liberty, equality and fraternity proclaimed by the French revolution have been an inspiration to the American people throughout their national existence, and the traditional understanding between our two nations has in no small part been due to their common faith in democratic institutions and in their like devotion to the cause of human freedom.

REFUGEE PROBLEM IN FRANCE A NOTE SENT BY SECRETARY OF STATE CORDELL HULL TO GASTON HENRY-HAYE, FRENCH AMBASSADOR January 9, 1941 [1] The following note has been sent by the Secretary of State to the Ambassador of the French Republic, Gaston Henry-Haye: The Secretary of State presents his compliments to His Excellency the Ambassador of the French Republic and has the honor to acknowledge the receipt of his note of November 25, 1940 requesting the assistance of the Government of the United States of America in the solution of the problem of refugees, primarily those of German origin, now in unoccupied France. 1. The view of the French Government is noted that the recent migration to French unoccupied territory of thousands of refugees of German nationality and the Jewish religion has seriously aggravated the difficulties of the French Government. The French Government, in consequence, is obliged to care for and feed these persons in addition to the many hundreds of thousands of refugees of other nationalities who have sought asylum on the territory of France. 2. It is noted, however, that, in the opinion of the French Government, the refugee problem can be solved only through a more equitable distribution of refugees, particularly those of the Jewish religion, among the "different countries." Based on the information furnished to the Intergovernmental Committee on Political Refugees, the countries of the American Hemisphere must be prepared to make a material contribution in this sense.

Romania Has First Holocaust Memorial Day Saddam paid off French leaders By Bill Gertz THE WASHINGTON TIMES Saddam Hussein used a U.N. humanitarian program to pay $1.78 billion to French government officials, businessmen and journalists in a bid to have sanctions removed and U.S. policies opposed, according to a CIA report made public yesterday. The cash was part of $10.9 billion secretly skimmed from the U.N. oil-for-food program, which was used by Iraq to buy military goods, according to a 1,000-page report by the CIA-led Iraqi Survey Group. According to a section of the report on Iraqi weapons procurement, the survey group identified long-standing ties between Saddam and the French government. One 1992 Iraqi intelligence service report revealed that Iraq's ambassador to France paid $1 million to the French Socialist Party in 1988. The CIA report stated that the Iraqi ambassador was instructed to "utilize [the $1 million] to remind French Defense Minister Pierre Joxe indirectly about Iraq's previous positions toward France, in general, and the French Socialist party, in particular."

Main December 28, 2004 France's government-approved training center for Islamic clerics has ties to Muslim Brotherhood No indication as to whether the dhimmi French care about this, or realize the implications of ties to the first modern Islamic terrorist organization, the father of Hamas and Al-Qaeda. From the Chicago Tribune via the Baltimore Sun , with thanks to all who sent this in: Deep in the misty hills of Burgundy, fervent young European Muslims are forging an Islam of their own. Depending on the point of view, they are either budding fundamentalists or Europe's best defense against extremism. The European Institute of Human Sciences lies at the end of a winding country road in a drafty 19th-century chateau in the town of St. Leger-de-Fougeret, France. The site was a corporate retreat until 1992, when a federation of French Muslim groups bought the 27-acre campus of craggy trees and moss-lined brick paths. Every year, 150 men and women from across Europe, ranging in age from 14 to the mid-30s, pay $3,500 a year to study theology and Arabic language and memorize the Quran. Most are second- or third-generation immigrants, and some are converts. They are the proudly conservative vanguard of European Islam. "I used to go dancing with my friends, but my life was not close to Islam. Islam was not deep in my heart," said Lazare Boufeta, walking under a canopy of towering pine trees on the path to his small dormitory room. "One day I started thinking, where am I going? Do I have an aim in my life?"

Home Country Analysis Briefs France: Environmental Issues PDF version PDB version September 2003 Introduction Air and Marine Pollution Energy Consumption Carbon Emissions ... Environmental Outlook France: Environmental Issues Introduction France's economy was badly shaken by the oil shocks of the early 1970s. With little in the way of indigenous energy resources and only limited opportunities for increasing electricity generation using hydropower, at the time France imported almost all of its oil and natural gas. The 1973 Arab oil embargo and the resulting price shocks highlighted France's overwhelming dependence on imported petroleum supplies to meet domestic demand. In the aftermath of the oil shocks, the French government took the critical step to reorient the country's energy policy, pledging to achieve energy independence by reducing its reliance on foreign energy supplies. As such, France undertook a crash program to develop and expand its nuclear power industry, with the issue of national energy security underpinning and hence driving the program. Although France still must rely on imported oil and natural gas, the development of the country's nuclear power program has reduced this dependence, providing France with additional insurance against future energy supply disruptions.

Rather, the greatest day came the day after the most shameful moment in the history of France, as the greatest man in French history stepped forward, and saved the honor of his nation. In the spring of 1940, Hitler's army burst through the Ardennes Forest, bypassing the French defensive Maginot Line. In late May and early June, the remnants of the British Expeditionary Force rushed to evacuate the continent, escaping from Dunkirk on British civilian fishing boats and other rescue craft. Germans tanks and bombers drove into Paris on June 14. The battle for France was clearly lost, and the French government, which had fled to Bordeaux, argued about whether to continue the war from the French colonies in North Africa. On June 16, 1940, the democratic government of Premier Paul Reynaud collapsed, because Reynaud refused to support an armistice with Germany. On June 17, the Vice-Premier Marshal Philippe Petain, a hero of World War I, formed a new government, which offered to conditional surrender to the Nazis. Five days later, an armistice was signed at Rethondes, the same site where Germany and France had signed the armistice ending World War I.
