I see well in fact EUR 100 billion or more

A few days of the delivery of the report of the Juppe-Rocard commission debate rages in the majority on the amount of the big loan. Is this the proper angle of attack

The extent of the large loan must be commensurate with our ambitions. If it is small, it means that we are cowardly, that we fear the future. If you want to restore confidence to the people in the future - and we are entering a society of defiance where the future is depreciated and unfair-, acts of political courage. The France works by major announcements involving the public speaking at stake. If the "bubble" deflated, with a large loan around EUR 10 billion, this would indicate that the Government no longer has confidence in the future. The debate on the amount is so beautiful, it requires the Government to move in the right direction.

What amount do you recommend then

The minimum for me, it's 50 billion and this seem cautious. I see well in fact EUR 100 billion or more. The time has never been as open to taking risks.

The French, who see the State of public finances, are not very pieces...

The French are anxious because talking them to debt. It is a contre-pédagogie effort akin to a brainwashing. If the debt was bad, there would be no business! There is no risk on the signing of the France and a loan was never impoverished a nation if it corresponds to the construction of an asset: the loan will be a heritage assets of at least equal amount. It would be surprising at the time where he exalts entrepreneurial Government or timid. My concern is the increase in the stock of unemployed, not that of the stock of debt.

Why our European neighbours do not engaged in similar projects

This is not a reason for not doing so. Other European countries are ensconced in doctrinal attitudes - that is the case of the Germany-, themselves insolvent - it is the case of the Italy - or they were too hit by the crisis, as the Spain. The France must precisely give leadership, because it is less hit by the crisis and because it has extensive experience of these issues. French growth of today depends on the investments 20 years ago: nuclear power, the TGV, the aviation...

A debate persists on the Commission to determine whether or not the large loan funds infrastructure...

It all depends on their profitability. Build tunnels between the France and the Italy would be a great economic profitability, as urban renewal: the decline of the switching time increases productivity and well-being, which is bearing fruit immediately and very long term. On the economy of knowledge on the other hand, instead investing in systems, it is essential to a bet on the men because freedom is consubstantial good research.

Is it relevant that there are so few economists in the Juppe-Rocard commission

The establishment of this commission was an eminently political act, I would not understand that it is composed of technocrats and experts.
