Philippe,
How credible are they? It always seems to me, from a zillion miles away,
admittedly, to be bureaucrats running amok in a very rigid bureaucratic set
up! Living in India, I have come to loathe an overactive bureaucracy
protecting its powers, they are the worst impediment for growth and
innovation in a country - even the politicians have to get reelected
periodically, after all.
Cheers
Jayanand
