Speaking about French jobs, those that work at Airbus can relax knowing that some of them are working a little extra because the EU threatened the poor, tsunami ravaged Thai government to buy their bloated airplane if the Thai's wanted to sell shrimp.
Back home, we call that extortion. In the EU they call it trade policy.
Shame.
