...then moving on to the finance post in April - and he has some real achievements to show for it. In 2002, insecurité - fear of rising crime and a sense that illegal immigration was out of control - was on peoples' minds and fueling the surge of Jean-Marie Le Pen's xenophobic National Front. Interior Minister Sarkozy put more cops on the street and introduced monthly performance ratings so people could see the results. He ordered high-profile raids on organized crime gangs, chased prostitutes out of residential areas, and built detention centers for illegal immigrants, accompanying each initiative with...
...Economic Cooperation and Development (O.E.C.D.). Oil prices continue to spike - last week they briefly hit $49 per bbl. in New York, and a study by the International Energy Agency estimates that a sustained $10 rise in oil prices knocks about 0.5% off the euro zone's economic growth. But Jean-Philippe Cotis, the O.E.C.D.'s chief economist, says that unlike the oil shocks of the'70s and early'80s - when the price was almost double in today's dollars - the increases aren't prompting inflationary wage demands, and so far haven't hurt consumer demand.

The coordinator of aid workers in Iraq, Jean-Dominique Bunel, who hastily resigned his post and left the country last week, said he expected most of the remaining 50 expatriate aid workers he'd been overseeing in Iraq to leave quickly. Pietro Del Sette of Rodino's group, Movimondo, said there was little choice. "We don't want martyrs. But for us, this is definitely a defeat." - By Jeff Israely The Milburn Return BRITAIN Prime Minister Tony Blair brought key ally...
...where the soldiers are based; one trade union forecast the loss of 7,500 German jobs. "This is a serious loss for those regions," says Defense Minister Peter Struck. There was little criticism of the change in U.S. strategy. "Let's face it, the cold war is over," says Jean-Vincent Brisset, a military expert at France's Institute for International and Strategic Relations. "The U.S. forces came to save Europe, but their presence today doesn't fit with current doctrine." The larger issue is whether the recall, set to begin in 2006, will degrade a transatlantic alliance already damaged...
