    European Movement International 04/12/2020, 09:17 Valéry Giscard d'Estaing: Mourning a European giant Following the passing of former French President Valéry Giscard d’Estaing, former president of the European Movement International and passionate defender of the European project, we share perspectives on his life from France, Belgium, Germany and Malta. European Headlines is a weekly newsletter from the European Movement International highlighting media perspectives from across Europe. Click here to subscribe. Tweet about this Remembering VGE Le Monde provides a brief biography of the former French president, who passed away on Wednesday as a result of a Covid-19 infection. At the age of 36, Giscard was appointed Minister of Finance and Economic Affairs under Georges Pompidou. In 1974, he ran in the 1974 presidential elections, defeating Jacques Chaban-Delmas and François Mitterrand and thus becoming the youngest President of the Republic since 1848. During the campaign, he established himself as a modern, dynamic politician, embodying renewal in the face of his rivals. His “advanced liberal society” entailed new laws such as the decriminalisation of abortion and the right of referral to the Constitutional Council. His international policies are marked by his strengthening of European unity. Together with German Chancellor, Helmut Schmidt, Giscard influenced the creation of the European Council in December 1974. Following the 1989 European elections, Giscard entered the European Parliament. During his years in Brussels, he served as President of the European Movement International until 1997. On May 29, 2003, he received the ‘Charlemagne Prize’ for having "advanced the unification process" in Europe.

  • French Nuclear Company Orano Upgraded to 'BB+' on Improved Liquidity and Capital Structure; Outlook Stable
    Research Update: French Nuclear Company Orano Upgraded To 'BB+' On Improved Liquidity And Capital Structure; Outlook Stable Primary Credit Analyst: Christophe Boulier, Paris (39) 02-72111-226; [email protected] Secondary Contact: Andrey Nikolaev, CFA, Paris (33) 1-4420-7329; [email protected] Table Of Contents Overview Rating Action Rationale Outlook Ratings Score Snapshot Issue Ratings--Recovery Analysis Related Criteria Ratings List WWW.STANDARDANDPOORS.COM/RATINGSDIRECT APRIL 5, 2018 1 Research Update: French Nuclear Company Orano Upgraded To 'BB+' On Improved Liquidity And Capital Structure; Outlook Stable Overview • Orano has reported EBITDA of close to €1 billion for 2017, despite challenging industry conditions, and its recent restructuring and capital increases have improved its liquidity and capital structure. • We think Orano will continue to focus on cost-cutting and generate moderately positive free operating cash flow, enabling it to reduce net debt in 2018-2020. • Consequently, we are upgrading Orano to 'BB+' from 'BB'. • The stable outlook reflects our view that Orano will be able to reduce adjusted debt to EBITDA to below 5.5x in 2019-2020 despite challenging industry conditions, supported by its sizeable, long-term order backlog. Rating Action On April 5, 2018, S&P Global Ratings raised its long-term issuer credit rating on France-based nuclear services group Orano to 'BB+' from 'BB'. The outlook is stable. We also raised our ratings on Orano's senior unsecured bonds to 'BB+' from 'BB'. Although we expect substantial recovery (70%-90%; rounded estimate 85%) on the bonds in the event of a default, the recovery rating is capped at '3' due to the bonds' unsecured nature and issuance by a company rated in the 'BB' category.

  • IMT Atlantique, Orano, Naval Group Et L'irsn Reconduisent La Chaire
    Le 15/05/2018 Communiqué de presse IMT Atlantique, Orano, Naval Group et l’IRSN reconduisent la chaire RESOH avec l’Andra pour nouveau partenaire Lancée en 2012, par IMT Atlantique et ses trois partenaires Orano, Naval Group et l’IRSN, la chaire de recherche et d’enseignement RESOH « REcherche en Sûreté Organisation Hommes » constitue une démarche innovante. Elle réunit des exploitants du nucléaire et l’institut d’expertise d’appui de l’Autorité de sûreté autour d’une volonté commune de réfléchir et d’agir au service d’une performance industrielle « sûre ». La convention signée au début de l’année 2018 reconduit la chaire RESOH jusqu’en octobre 2022 et marque l’arrivée d’un nouveau partenaire, l’Andra (Agence nationale pour la gestion des déchets radioactifs). La chaire RESOH-2 s’appuiera sur les acquis et l’originalité de RESOH-1, qui a permis d’initier des collaborations inédites en matière de recherche et des discussions entre les acteurs de la sûreté nucléaire. Ce projet met l’accent sur les relations inter-organisationnelles et marque la volonté de ne pas isoler la sûreté nucléaire des autres formes de performance industrielle, faisant ainsi émerger le concept de « performance industrielle sûre ». RESOH-2 reprend et approfondit les 3 axes de recherche initialement définis, avec la volonté de renforcer les liens transversaux entre ces différents domaines : • Gestion des projets complexes, • Pilotage de la valeur des relations de sous-traitance (engagements contractuels, travailler ensemble). • Relations contrôleur-contrôlé et gestion de l’équilibre entre sécurité réglée et sécurité gérée. Cette seconde étape est aussi l’occasion de capitaliser sur la connaissance des sites des partenaires industriels et de valider l’investissement de terrain effectué pour appréhender la complexité d’équipements tels que La Hague, le chantier de construction des sous-marins nucléaires d’attaque de classe Barracuda, ou des activités d’expertise de l’IRSN (Institut de Radioprotection et de Sûreté Nucléaire).

  • Choose France!” Summit Focusing on France’S Attractiveness to Business
    PRESIDENCY OF THE FRENCH REPUBLIC ______ Press Office Paris, January 22, 2018 PRESS RELEASE “Choose France!” summit focusing on France’s attractiveness to business Versailles, January 22, 2018 #ChooseFrance The President of France will be attending the “Choose France!” summit at the Palace of Versailles on Monday January 22, where distinguished guests will include nearly 140 business leaders representing some the world’s biggest businesses in a wide variety of sectors, from the automotive industry to new technologies, agri-food, financial services and healthcare. The “Choose France!” summit is another key stage in the promotion of France’s attractiveness as a business location after several months of far-reaching economic reforms by the French government. The aim of the event is to highlight how France stands up as an attractive business destination, underpinned by the announcement of various investment projects in France and the presence of 140 business leaders, many of whom are on their way to the World Economic Forum in Davos (Switzerland), who will discuss their ambitions in France with the President, Prime Minister and 16 ministers. Five multinational firms will use the summit to announce major investment projects in France. Each of these will serve as a symbolic illustration – due to either their size, the sums being invested, growth or jobs being generated, or their excellence and significance for sectors of the future. A handful of smaller projects will also be announced during the event. As part of a day largely given over to France’s attractiveness to business, the President of France will also pay an early afternoon visit to Toyota’s industrial plant near Valenciennes (north-eastern France), where the Toyota Yaris is made (3.5 million units produced since opening in 2001) and 3,800 people are employed at a site driving employment in the local area.
