On November 14, three Senators of French Citizens Abroad -Evelyne Renaud-Garabedian, Sophie Briante Guillemont and Jean-Luc Ruelle- met in Tel Aviv in presence of Ambassador of France Frederic Journes, a hundred French economic actors operating in Israel, in order to understand their needs and see how they could help answer them. These very frank exchanges focused on the lack of legal status of the EFE (French Entrepreneurs Abroad), on the need for local representation of the BPI (Public Bank for Investments), on the insufficiency of academic agreements, on the absence of Israel from the Francophonie(World Union of French Speaking Countries), etc… A very fruitful meeting that all the participants wished to see renewed.
