Air France has been hurt by high oil prices, just like everyone else.

The higher the price of oil goes, the higher your costs are, even with hedging.

The market in France should grow by a total of two to three percent in the current year. It looks as though it should go better for us.

High oil prices and the emergence of a number of new players on the world stage - not just China and India but also Russia and even Iran - have made it possible to play the major powers off against each other.

I'm a little surprised the oil prices haven't hurt the market more.

France and Russia have oil companies and interests in Iraq. They should be told that if they are of assistance in moving Iraq toward decent government, we'll do the best we can to ensure that the new government and American companies work closely with them. If they throw in their lot with Saddam, it will be difficult to the point of impossible to persuade the new Iraqi government to work with them.
