It isn’t charity, it is business, and is worldwide!
It isn’t charity, it is business. The European Parliament’s resolution - adopted on the 10th of July 2006 and signed by 407 MEPs that asked the Romanian Government to authorize international adoptions for 1,092 children - is generated by the necessity to cut a deal. It is the result of the lobby promoted by NGOs and lawyers that used to win or that are going (or not going) to win almost 20 million euro – depending on the success of their actions. The spearhead of these interest groups is a very important person: Francois de Combret.
The Frenchman, whose name won’t say anything to most of our readers, is, however, a prominent European who has much influence in the decision-making circles of the EU. A personal adviser of the former French president Valery Giscard d’Estaing and Secretary General of the Elysee Palace until 1981, Mr de Combret was in charge – in his capacity as manager of the Lazard Bank- of the privatization of Renault, France Telecom, Aerospatiale, as well as other key-transactions for the French state.
He advised Renault to associate with Nissan, he advised Aerospatiale to merge with Matra and Daimler Aerospace (which resulted in EADS) and he also advised Sagem to merge with Snecma (resulted in Safran). As a result for his advice work, Francois de Combret is now on the board of Renault and Safran. He is also expert adviser for the UBS Investment Bank, director for Nexans Cabling Systems and member of the Bouygues Telecom board.
