44. PIERRE MONET
Pierre Monet had to stay at the Ministry yesterday until 7:00 p.m. He was asked to work with a colleague to translate a secret document that had arrived just before 4:00 p.m. from the French Embassy in London. Pierre usually goes home at 4:00, but his boss rushed into Pierre’s office just as he was getting ready to leave. He told him that the President of the Republic needed the document translated immediately. When Pierre called his wife to tell her that he’d be late, she told him that he had just received at home a 15-page report from the Chairman of Peugeot and that it had to be done by 9:00 a.m. the next morning. Pierre told his wife he’d be home around 8:00 p.m. and that he’d probably need no more than two hours to do the translation. After hanging up, he and a colleague of his divided up the 23-page document from the French Embassy and started working on it. It was a secret report from the British Ministry of Defense to the Prime Minister. Pierre wondered how the report had found its way to the French Embassy, but that was really none of his business. The report was about the British position concerning the construction of a new Eurofighter attack jet to be constructed by a consortium of companies in the U.K., France, Germany and Spain. In the report, the British Minister of Defense was complaining about the French and the Germans. In his opinion, the U.K. and Spain were not being included in some of the sensitive meetings and decisions. The report gave a list of meetings that had taken place between the French and German companies without the knowledge of the other two partners. The Minister concluded the report recommending that this subject be included in the informal meeting scheduled between the Prime Minister and the French President during the next NATO meeting in Brussels.
