you come to russia every fifteen days what is your primary mission. now tony and hugh morgan fleet my first mission given by presidents are cozy in line with president dative is to report and scope out the establishment of your russian economic zone and the second part of this mission is to strengthen economic cooperation in all possible areas between our countries. you have responsibility also developing a trade between french france and russia which sectors of the russian economy do you think are less attractive for business leaders in france will be bought off or said yes you're in mexico one year today for france it is of course raw materials in trade we have gas oil is essential but there is much more of a look at what alstom is doing with trans march holding building locomotives for export across the world look at what's on offer he is doing in the pharmaceutical area we cooperate in many new technological areas and today these areas are

multiplying because we are in the heart of russia's modernization plan and french companies can offer quality technology and so for us we want to be interest are many not only wrong materials which remain essential including a nuclear sector in which we can cooperate more deeply. well it talked about. the good sides of the modernization and present bad it has criticized the investment climate in russia do you see improvement. or guy called he argues that he i see huge progress myself i've been working with russia for many years and i believe we are wrong when seeking to teach lessons to russia today russia is twenty and the progress to date has been huge and president gaited invited me to have done huge work we see that the changes are profound to put it simply on our side we are not always very aware of that firstly you need to be russian which is not common and secondly you need to come more often to russia so we also need to open our minds there is still much to do however your leaders the president of your prime

minister sayers at the st petersburg forum the road map was clarified that the investment climate is much better to. a look at the business flow between us the big french troops are present for example vinci who are doing the motorway link between moscow and st petersburg today we're developing cooperation on power generation on the sides of the st petersburg summit we signed with e.d.f. to equipment i would say to provide electricity to the city of taunton we built parts for e.t.s. for airbus in siberia so there are multiple areas of cooperation and cooperation between france and russia does work. guys feel awkward our forces are easy but i still want to ask you if someone like you doesn't come to russia every fifteen days just a business can in general outside of russia do they still have the old stereotypes of russia because all he if you speak with the presidents of big french groups present in russia they're very happy to be here live or to develop their business

those who are not here yet often house of a priority and we have i have to say is in western europe not only in france a problem with our media who do not know russia well and russia should communicate more also there are old stereotypes of the progress achieved is not reflected in media. why why is it here pretty trade is very biased in the rest russian media and. i think their image of russia is based on the past from fifteen or twenty years ago they do not come to russia often and often does russia communicate actually quite little to us on what internal changes are taking place we have to deal with outdated ideas and perceptions which are wrong and this i believe is an important subject but this is a blocking point we often speak about big groups or think about and you were a small and medium sized companies in russia and in france many are already cooperate on what we could do much more in this area. how will the french business that you bring to russia help diversified economy. today you are in the middle of

a modernization drive in russia be it in transport water or electricity distribution in aeronautics. unhealthily. in high tech and by the way you have school cable which is a big success many companies e.l.t.'s ulsterman cincinatti but also american german and many others are present so we can help push our technology transfers in many areas. but also this visit you will be going to north caucasus to actually valley its pretentious investment in north caucasus. alpine tourism expertize take care in your approach we took what he yes and i believe that russia took a very good decision which is the one to try to stabilize and ensure better security listen area through economic development and both presidents president and president sarkozy in deauville on the sides of the g eight we did joint declaration on this with. russia chose parents as a main supplier not exclusive but main to try to establish ski resorts and develop

the area coastline this is a huge project led by mr billow president of north caucasus resorts were taking a visit with me snowboarding and i believe that the based on tourist development will prove to have been the right one to create jobs give people hope but as well you increase security which also comes through economic development we are going to take part in this event. this is the first time you will be going to north caucasus . yes for me this will be my first time in the north caucuses and i am very excited to have the chance to discover which is wonderful i've seen photos the french team accompanying me already knows that area is a wonderful place and i think you can develop a tourist in the center of europe which will be very attractive to the whole world but how long do you think it actually could turn. that tourism paradise because right now it's not the safest place to be or for tourism tourists to go but.

you know the french have experience we developed in croatia remember turkey at the very beginning when we were developing tourism in turkey the area was not safe. and the condition of your government on your presidents to say that we're going to develop this area to create jobs for the young of course to ensure security the government provides guarantees for up to seventy percent of investment but it's still taking a chance it's the right decision to develop this area so that is what needs to be done what i want to be a westland are we talking about set up or he calls he god this is a huge project over many years more than fifteen billion dollars will be invested french companies and others will have the opportunity to take part investors and of course the russian government invest a lot in infrastructure which our companies can complement with but i'm thinking about paul mccarthy who build steel it's other french companies will be present we're going to invest it but it will also be necessary to attract capital from all over the world this is a very big project or they could talk

a little bit about what are the concerns for the year and france so closely try to spain and italy they're actually sliding now and bailout territory and. i believe that whatever they say today the euro is not fragmented it is facing difficulties but as we speak here about cooperation about a future economic zone with free movement of people and capital between russia and western europe this will be a breathing space for european union and for the euro an additional economic area and so a strengthening of the euro for the more you really think here a russian economic zone save the euro. will be yes i believe that today europe which is a political economic entity these are much bigger economic space to be globally competitive think about the fact that the american continent has brought together a level that the asian countries are brought together at the a.c.m. level we do not have a big area on the european continent but however so many things link us in history

in culture and today our economic complementarity is strong on one hand there are all materials a huge area on the other hand a trade capacity. vance's in some sectors but not all you have here high technologies demand for more money we have a common interest and common interest to be defended in the world and i believe that today this can only strengthen the eurozone notwithstanding the rise of china who for you is a great partner but also a great competitor concerning the mediterranean the instability is going to continue for some time the exception to democracy for these countries will be much longer than we want to admit and our partners across the atlantic are also competitors so the idea of expansion is both an opportunity and an obligation for russia and for western europe countries. talking about commonalities russia and france have always competed for defense and military contracts and now we're purchasing french helicopter carriers what do you think of it if you go on this is a big burst into petersburg in the presence of president veto if we sign for the

beach thrown this is the first time france undertook such a technology transfer and sold such important military equipment and in the same way by the way not cooperate and will be in two directions i thought for you as prime minister vladimir putin came to paris we took delivery of test models of the burial of two hundred the firefighting plane which is now under trial in the west of france and we're looking at buying more so our cooperation in sensitive areas in the struggle is an example shows that the political climate is healthy there are no more clouds today between france and russia and contacts between the two presidents are excellent also with the prime minister i believe that we have to seize the opportunity presented by this political climate because it is very good and this is an opportunity to consolidate the gains we have made so quickly you know. you're someone who knows moscow very well because you come here very often we like to think that moscow is right in new york of eastern here i think moscow has can never

have a status of international financial center. on your level of human evolution i am convinced of mosque. those financial health plans that we received mr volatile sheehan who is responsible for the moscow financial helpline in paris he met french stock market regulatory authorities on the a c p a local aging banks and insurance companies to follow the example of what is being done still it seems to be in line with global norms and standards and our idea is not moscow located halfway between hong kong or new york as a central role to play when we have here a big country for all materials moscow could be the global financial hope for more material trade tomorrow you are global leaders in oil gas could be groups like you sell nickel and europe global leaders in the energy sector so one has a role to play at the un moreover for our financial hubs we can find synergies in the derivatives area in many things so we were convinced that the ruble will stay strong and moscow must become

a major international financial hub and with that you have a lot of things yet to do with the legal level legal security regulation which you are doing it at the moment and the only thing to do is to help you know give you lessons about the need to do so and i thank you very much for this interview yes you have a thank you. misha disciplinary. work if the penitentiary system transform a criminal into a log bodysuit. prison life behind bars an arche.
