French 1 to 1 Business

French lessons of this type are aimed towards those that need to learn French to aid them with their employment. For those just starting out, it is integral to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and reading and writing can be adopted once the simple precepts are out of the way. Success has come from students who are involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, those seeking jobs in multinational companies, and those working with foreign colleagues, academia and bureaucracy. Just our most basic beginners lesson will have the student finishing the lesson with basic telephone/e-mail skills in French, as well as survival French should a short stay in the country be needed.

Remplacer les classiques papiers d’identité par des cartes à puce sécurisées n’est pas un projet nouveau. Mais aujourd’hui, les plans de sécurisation électronique de tels documents se font de plus en plus pressants, notamment suite aux attentats du 11 septembre 2001.

De tels projets consistent à remplacer cartes d’identité, passeports, permis de conduire ou autres documents aisément falsifiables, par des cartes à puce contenant les identifiants biométriques du détenteur, en d’autres termes les éléments propres à chaque individu, tels que la morphologie du visage, les empreintes digitales ou le dessin de l’iris de l’œil.

Le but d’une telle manœuvre est double : d’une part accroître la sécurité afin de contrer la fraude documentaire dans les filières terroristes et criminelles et dans l’immigration clandestine, et d’autre part, simplifier les procédures administratives.

En France, le projet d’administration électronique porte désormais le nom de INES : plan d’Identité Nationale Electronique de Sécurité. Esquissé au début des années 1990, il devrait prendre forme en 2006, voyant apparaître les premiers documents à puce.

Pour l’heure, tant sur le plan international que sur le plan européen, les pays doivent s’accorder sur des normes à adopter afin que les systèmes soient compatibles entre tous, ce qui, est actuellement sujet à débat.

En effet, chaque technique biométrique a ses partisans.
Les Etats-Unis militent pour une empreinte de la rétine, au détriment de l’empreinte digitale, qui, pour eux, a une connotation pénale.

La France, l’Italie, la Suède, l’Espagne et la Belgique, qui ne s’opposent pas au scanner de l’iris de l’œil, préfèrent néanmoins la reconnaissance par empreinte digitale, affirmant que ce système est déjà arrivé à maturité puisque les services de douane et de police du monde entier disposent d’un tel système.

L’Allemagne, la Norvège et l’Islande reconnaissent le nécéssité d’un second identifiant obligatoire.

Ce projet d’administration électronique s’avère être plus que complexe : non seulement sur le plan international les techniques biométriques devront interopérer entre les différents pays, mais sur le plan national, elles bouleverseront tout un ensemble de procédures administratives déjà ancrées. Une difficulté manifeste à surmonter pour des pays bureaucratiques tels que la France et l’Allemagne.
