  • 2010 marks a departure for French exports of military equipment. With a total of 5.12 billion euros, they are falling over 8.1 billion garnered in 2009 (6.5 billion in 2008). The objective of Paris was to beat all its records by signing for "at least 10 billion of export contracts" is more or less the equivalent of what the French army spending for its own every year.

    Nevertheless, the government notes in the twelfth edition of its report to parliament on arms exports to France for 2010, "France has maintained fourth largest exporter of defense equipment (…) in a situation difficult ".

    The world export market has stabilized at 70 billion euros.And in total military spending worldwide have slowed to 1.127 trillion euros, an increase of over 1% against a growth of 5% per year between 2001 and 2009. "Over the decade," the report notes, "the United States, the European Union, where Britain and France stand out, Russia and Israel share 90% of the export market."

    The decline in export activity in 2010 due to the lag of several large contracts – as in 2009, with sales in Brazil of four submarines and 50 helicopters – that France hoped to sign the year last.

    Remarkable performances

    In discussions since 2009, the contract for the sale of two ships of projection and command (BPC) Mistral class in Russia was finally signed in June 2011 between DCNS and Rosoboronexport to 1.1 billion euros.It is therefore not recorded in 2010.

    And ongoing negotiations with several countries to sell the Rafale combat aircraft built by Dassault Aviation, have not yet been completed. Among the most promising, the Brazilian has cooled with the decision of the President Rousseff to defer any decision to buy 36 fighter in 2012. The second, United Arab Emirates, is still active.

    Negotiations, that France hoped to see succeed in 2010, continues with Abu Dhabi. Just over a week, Gerard Longuet had found that Paris had entered "a final negotiation." The defense minister had described as "very high" probability that the contract is concluded. France and the UAE have been negotiating the sale of 2008 copies of 60 Rafale.The French fighter is also short list in India along with the Eurofighter, developed by EADS, BAE and Finmeccanica to supply 126 aircraft to the Indian Army.

    France can also expect to have the benefits of its commitment to Libya where the effectiveness of French equipment was again demonstrated (after including Afghanistan) under real conditions in a theater of operation. Of these, the performance of Tiger helicopters (EADS) and the Rafale, whose versatility allows him to perform all the tasks (surveillance, attack in depth, defensive etc.) were noted. "This is the only aircraft in the world capable of performing such a feat today," says a military engaged in Operation Harmattan.

    For France, the stakes are high because the Rafale irrigates the French industry, including Ile-de-France and Aquitaine.The French fighter involved 500 industrial partners and represents more than 8000 jobs in total.

  • Europe and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) were they the wrong remedy by betting on a radical purge in order to save Greece? Doubt in any case reflected in the Health Check "strictly confidential" that creditors of Athens sent to the Heads of State and Government of the European Union, just in time for their summit. The document, obtained by Le Figaro, postulates that Greece must be prepared "in a recession longer and more severe" than that announced the start of treatment by experts of the troika, the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the IMF .

    This is the revision of judgments that led the twin peaks of yesterday to look at both a greater debt forgiveness by the banks (see below) and a substantial extension of the second plan Support Service promised this summer.Signal of the malaise, the ECB has refused to endorse some of the assumptions of the report and the IMF dragging its feet to validate the final tranche of aid Papandreou government.

    Three years late

    109 billion euros announced July 21, the financing requirement of Athens may rise to 252 or even 440 billion in the darkest scenario of the troika. Greece, which was initially successful in refinance markets from 2021, could see the deadline extended until 2027. In the meantime, the countries of the euro should cover the dead as they have formally committed and maintain a drip Greece, backed up by the IMF payday loans with no fax.

    Implicitly, the troika questions the validity of the treatment and the backlash seems he underestimated.Since the summer, "the situation in Greece has worsened," she notes prior to drive the point home: the plan adopted at the summit in July "reduced the pace of debt (the country) but the effect is more than offset the macroeconomic and political. " Clearly, the state of the patient's health deteriorates and Europe continues to hope for a better.

    As a complicated medical treatment, management of side effects is crucial. Contrary to expectations, "Greece, part of a very low fail to juggle internal devaluation (through lower wages, Ed), tackling its budget deficit and the completion of its program privatization ", experts say the troika.

    Privatization, expected to bring the Treasury Greek part of the resources it lacks, offer a good illustration of the inability to juggle all aspects of shock therapy.According to Troika, the recession and the collapse of financial markets have already reduced 66-46000000000 Product maximum expected disposals of businesses by the Greek State. Athens logically reluctant to sell off its assets at the worst of conditions. European experts in the wake recognize that the program has already taken three years late.
