		According to the French Government, that decision was revealed by a statement made by Commissioner Byrne, and by the choice made by the Commission on 17 November 1999 to give the French Republic formal notice requiring it to comply with Decision 1999/514.
		Here, the French authorities were well aware of the Commission's standpoint before the letter of formal notice was sent but had made clear their intention not to implement the decisions at issue and, moreover, announced that intention to the press before notifying the Commission.
		The French Government was not aware of those matters until after the time-limit had expired for bringing an action for annulment of Decision 1999/514 setting the date for the resumption of exports under the DBES, a fact justifying its challenge to the legality of that decision in the present action.

	"FINE WINES"
		Only vineyards chosen by a government commission have the right to use the name Côte de Provence, although, strangely, not all wines bearing this official name are grown in Provence alone.
		Some of these wines are light and fruity, others are rich in aroma, still others are robust, but they all have one thing in common: they are grown in a special kind of soil which must be in humus, permeable and stony.
		The French government imposes very strict rules about the cultivation of quality wines, and the best of them carry the seal of approval - AOC (Appellation d'Origin Contrôlèe).

	French government party leaders solidarize themselves with American imperialism
		The current conflict between French President Jacques Chirac and the Bush administration over war plans for Iraq has enabled the French government to posture temporarily on the world stage as a force for peace and international harmony.
		French imperialism has not changed its spots, however, and the present dispute has everything to do with how Paris believes its economic and geopolitical interests can be best served.
		The UMP secretary-general thus made clear that the Chirac government accepted entirely the line of reasoning pursued by the Bush government: that Iraq is a dangerous rogue state that must be “disarmed” and that the great powers have the right to launch colonial-style interventions.

		On the side of the Government of the Reich, this declaration was the logical sequel to the policy of understanding with France continually followed ever since that Government came into power; a policy which, in principle, it would still wish to maintain.

		The Agency for Information and Communication Technologies in the Administration (known by its French initials ATICA) has taken on the task of ensuring that government projects use open standards to reduce costs and redundancy, and to improve interoperability in government projects, said ATICA spokesman Gilles Bon-Maury.
		As an example, he said, users want to be assured that by filing their tax returns electronically they are not opening themselves up to government snooping on their online activities -- say, by means of a "virus" installed on their PC to track what financial transactions they are conducting via the Internet.
		The French government also wants to encourage a decentralized software industry by allowing small companies to work on open-source government projects, rather than the concentrated software development that tends to result from proprietary products, Smets added.
