Yes, I know about the french activities, and I have participated in the
on-line discussions about that. Have you?

My point is that does not happen on c.o.v.

Of course there is a problem. France has some issues with there nuclear
power plants and the metro systems. But I'm sure that it will be sorted...

But, that will be sorted outside of c.o.v.
