I don't know if I'm in a good mood today, but this is another article that I find interesting and comforting today. Even though EU is clearly criticized, the words used are positive, and I feel relieved to read that at least some countries are intending to move forward against climate change!

Bref, si l'activité recule en France un petit peu moins qu'ailleurs, ce n'est pas vraiment grâce à l'action décidée des pouvoirs publics depuis deux ans, mais plutôt malgré l'ampleur très limitée de celle-ci...

  Right, this magasine is more left-leaning, thus promoting public action, so this kind of comment is part of the ideology of the author rather than just being negatively spinned.

  - Last paragraph, with a positive title; up to now, everything is ok, we are really glad of what we read: France is not so bad after all, its economic structure, even though not very dynamic, has at least protected us through this crisis. This title is actually cynical and makes reference to the conclusion of the article.

(3) Il n'est pas surprenant en revanche que le Japon et les Etats-Unis exportent moins que la France : ce sont en effet des pays beaucoup plus peuplés (128 millions d'habitants au Japon et 307 aux Etats-Unis) et le ratio exportations/PIB tend toujours à diminuer quand la taille du pays augmente.
- nadege austin on 27 Sep 09
  
  OK so here, it is ok for Japan and USA to not have an export rate as high as Europe, but not for France, the 2nd bigger country in Europe ? It seems, however, that the explanation should be the same!

Ce qui signifie aussi que le déficit extérieur de l'économie française va continuer à se creuser fortement malgré la récession...
- nadege austin on 27 Sep 09
  
  The ellipsis at the end of the sentence ("...") is negative since it implies that having an strongly increasing external deficit is bad (which, in theory, is right). However, according to the rest of the paragraph, right now it is one consequence of France having a low level of exportations + good internal demand, which are both helping us resist to the crisis : so we need to know what we want!

Même si elle limite l'impact immédiat de la crise, cette faiblesse industrielle n'est évidemment pas un atout pour l'économie française

  and... here we go! Goodbye positiveness, after all these good words and the - relatively - positive explanations for France's good score in the crisis, the author buries us under depressing criticism just at the end of the article. These last lines are actually opening on another subject for discussion (whether public expenses should be increased or not). This could easily have been stated earlier in the article as an apparté, allowing for a way more positive and encouraging conclusion to the article!

Il ne suffira certainement pas en tout cas de diminuer les dépenses publiques pour y parvenir...
- nadege austin on 27 Sep 09
  
  I wish the last sentence of the article was something like "despite what we can think about the public spending / despite the negative consequences of low public spending and the weakness of the industrial fabric, in the context of the crisis, France is actually doing better than its neighbours." Come on, we need to be cheered up!
