In a meeting held with the French ambassador to Ireland, M Stéphane Crouzat, this petition was formally handed over to the French authorities and the DGCCRF (Direction Générale de la Concurrence, de la Consommation et de la Répression des Fraudes).

It has also been delivered to the Irish Minister for Finance, Mr Paschal Donohoe.

We are waiting on a meeting with the European Commission, DG Justice and Consumers, to present a copy to them also.
