 Morganatic and Secret Marriages in the French Royalty
It could be argued that these secret marriages were the French equivalent of morganatic marriages; since the marriage was secret, the spouse was never given the rank that she would have had under normal circumstances, which is a common trait with morganatic marriages.
It seems that the French secret marriages were authorized on another condition: that the prince fulfill his dynastic duties by leaving a legitimate issue, and not leave any issue by the secret marriage.
The legal and theological argument that was used was precisely the one evoked at the French Assembly of the clergy: that the civil contract was the matter for which the sacrament was the form, and that the civil authorities had the power to define which contracts were valid and which were void.

For its part, CERT paid an annual flat-rate royalty in Germany for broadcasting the same phonograms to GVL, a company incorporated under German law which is the counterpart of SPRE.
However, if the view advanced by Lagardère and the French Government were accepted, that communication would necessarily be subject to the rules laid down by Directive 93/83 as soon as the satellite became operational again.
On the other hand, they do not detract from the fact that the royalty thus determined constitutes payment for the use of phonograms in that State and that that payment cannot be taken into account in order to calculate equitable remuneration in another Member State.

The Euro-Nevada royalty had been applicable to the Haute-Mana mining concessions (121.5 km2), as well as the A Permit ground (496 km2).
The primary reason for eliminating the 2 percent royalty is to give Franc-Or greater flexibility in negotiating several contractual agreements with local small miners on the Haute-Mana mining concessions.
Expanding the presence of local small miners on the mining concessions was proposed by certain French government officials in Paris as a compromise solution to the regulatory delay on the production start-up at the Dagobert and Nicole projects that was imposed by the local French administration in Cayenne.
