I guess you are right in that the French (in France) can be a very stubborn lot. But they are also very easy-going at times. They certainly dislike the capacity for austerity of the Germans. In the time of General De Gaulle, France was for some time opposed to NATO which, by the way, also stands for No Action, Talk Only.

EMU and the French Hi, I am new to this thread. IMHO, the French wanted the EMU very much; more than the Germans (DM is more important to them than anything else). In this way they will have more influence on European monetary policy than in the current situation (where the French central bank simply as to follow the Bundesbank in Frankfurt). It is said that during German reunification, the Germans were willing to pay the price (EMU) to the French for getting the reunification. no hard evidence, of course ;-) Any thoughts? Regards, John
