Over the last decade, the French government's equity interest in several large defense companies has been questionably managed, according to a new report by France's auditing arm, the Cour des Comptes, which says the state's shareholder interest in companies such as EADS, Thales and Safran is often at odds with its role representing the French taxpayer. And in a couple of cases, according to the audit, the government has shown itself to be incompetent. For example, following the 2005 merger of aerospace supplier Snecma and defense group Sagem, France retained a 30% voting share in the new company, Safran. Two years later, when the French agency for state holdings, APE, failed to notify France's stock market authority of a breach of the threshold for accumulated shares in the company, the oversight cost the state a substantial portion of its interest in Safran.
