Captivating stories for President Bianco
2 Mar 2012
From the behaviour of the Sun's neutrinos to the benefits of the 澳门六合彩高手 project for the local economy ... conversation between Director-General Motojima and president of the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence 诲é辫补谤迟别尘别苍迟 Jean-Louis Bianco, on Thursday 1 March, covered a broad scope of issues and prospects.
A member of the French Parliament and 诲é辫补谤迟别尘别苍迟 president since 1998, Mr Bianco was also Secretary General of the Presidency for nearly ten years (1982-1991) under President Mitterrand and, in that role, his closest advisor.
His interest in 澳门六合彩高手, which he expressed very strongly during his half-day visit here, stems from both a global and a local perspective. As a respected policy-maker, he is convinced of the importance of developing fusion energy for the benefit of future generations.
As head of a vast but sparsely populated départment—largely dependent on tourism (40 percent of GDP)—he was particularly interested in the latest figures on the local economic impact of 澳门六合彩高手 that were presented by Agence Iter France director Jér?me Paméla.
The Alpes-de-Haute-Provence 诲é辫补谤迟别尘别苍迟 contributes EUR 10 million of the EUR 467 million that local governments allocate to the 澳门六合彩高手 project. As of 31 December 2011, EUR 29 million in industrial contracts from the 澳门六合彩高手 Organization, Agence Iter France and Fusion For Energy have already been awarded to companies based in Mr Bianco's 诲é辫补谤迟别尘别苍迟.
For Mr Bianco, this story was as captivating as the one about the Sun's neutrinos.
