#1 Economically destructive intervention for the sake of nationalist PR. These guys are nuts.

#4 "Last week was marked by strong concern about the possible takeover of a French company by a foreign group,"

#7 ...the government should "examine whether changes are needed in company law or accounting standards in order to encourage long-term investment."

Precisely the concept behind buying another company, isn't it?

Chirac - hopelessly socialist.

#8 Now comes the tricky part, Chiraq. Take a company like Vivendi. French conglomerate buying up things all over the world (other companies in many fields). Then things go south and their get their financial asses kicked. The marketplace is a 2-edged sword. Prohibit others from acquiring companies in France, and ones tit is another's tat. Beware of what you ask for when building a socialist paradise in a market economy.

#9 Now, my problem is that I would dearly love to prohibit foreign countries, particularly China, from buying American companies....
