French storm

From Warsaw Business Journal

Polish EU Commissioner Danuta Huebner has caused outrage in France with an interview in La Tribune where she suggested that moving production within Europe should be facilitated in order to prevent jobs moving to India or China.

French European Affairs Minister Claudie Haignere said: "It is unacceptable that a commissioner ... is in favor of de-localization. We should fight it by applying strong policy." (Poland A.M.)

An imperfect storm?

That's funny... Weren't they all in favor of "de-localization" when it meant removing all references to Christian heritage from the EU constitution? (OK, maybe I'm stretching things a bit, but not all that much)

You have answered Europe's question.... There's no need to export all this jobs to China or other parts of world.
The laborers of the world are moving to France! Let them eat cake while they work in France's factories.

And - if anyone is curious - Danuta Huebner comes from a Polish Left wing party.
And the French minister represents French "Rightist" government. Socialists are the opposition in France today.

Why these French politicians are such jerks ? I met a few Frenchmen and women, they were maybe too much French, but generally they were nice people.

I met a few French students in the last summer. I even let them to place their tents in my garden for 2 days. Too French ? The men weren't too much masculine (?), they didn't have own soap (however they used mine, so these stereotypes are false) and after a few glasses of alcohol, two of them showed me their dinner.
