MetroPornTour · 10-04-2005, 08:33 AM

1. The French economy is sluggish.

2. Companies are leaving France in a mass exodus.

3. The majority of unions here lack any real power in the E.U.

4. Un-employement is apx. 10%

= The French goverment plans to change labour laws and persue privatisation of many facilities. In short more flexiable labour relations!

Ok,

I can appreciate anyone wanting to keep their job. But France really needs to get with the program. Doing business, any kind of business, in France is a nightmare!

The biggest problem is business is hindered because of the enormous amount of regulation involved. I've commented before on what I call the "Joke of French Bueracracy" but it is much deeper than that. At the most basic core of French society and Goverment is a belief that the solutions of most problems can be accomplished by further legislation. It creates a workforce and work-ethic that in the most basic sense believes that an employer is "Lucky" to receive services of an employee.

In short, this is the only country I have ever lived in that large sums of money does NOT necessarily guarantee desired result.

Add to this a general fear of global-ization and international competition. France tends to be a closed society and demands that everyone and everything comming into the country conform to it's desires. Not necessarily if a bad thing if you are only going to market to the French. But if you want to open a factory manufacturing cars for the Japanese, you might suddenly find yourself pulling your hair out if regulation demands you can only print the owner's manual in French.

France is beautiful! But not like a museum. More like a mausoleum. It is a 1st world nation that conducts itself in attitude and culture like a 3rd world one. It needs to break down cultural borders and streamline it's regulations and give more freedom to citizens and business to earn a wage.

In any nation it is entrepeneurs that represent the bulk of employement and production. This can't happen if only true Frenchmen can receive Siret numbers to operate a sole proprietorship. (You need a siret number to operate a lemonaide stand in France)

And the large companies require flexibilty and clear and easily understandable regulation in order to operate, without un-due goverment interference. International companies will never provide high-paying jobs and locate to France without this abilty.

So get with the program guys! This is the 21st century.
