As an aside, dideveryone know that all cats can be shot in France if they are more than200 metres from a house? This is regardless of whether they aredomestic, wearing a collar etc. I didn't know that domestic cats were 'chassable'... Are you sure, because wild cats (not to be confused with feral cats) are protected I think.Is the domestic cat included in the list of 'nuisances', like foxes are apparently ?

He broke it sprinting after La Poste; his daily duty as he sees it. He was mended by an excellent veto surgeon who found that Sammy's knee was the worst he had ever seen for arthritis. Total cost of knee repair is approaching 1000 Euros...

There is no point in writing to Mme Gaillard.She is a spokesperson, press officer or the like. She does not control policy. She is not the decison maker.The situation is under review by an 'etude juridique tres poussee' involving the Minister in charge of Social Security. This study will conclude at a date 'non-fixee'.Mme Gaillard will not know the outcome of this study and the political direction the Minister will take until it is finished, and evidently she does not know when this will be.If you want to try to influence events and decisions you could write to the decison maker, the ministere herself rather than venting your spleen (and the rest) on Gaillard.

A letter received today 3 December, from the Director of CPAM Lot and dated 28 November which helps set out what is acually going on.For context we are 5+ years residents whose CVs will run out in March........Je comprends l'émotion que cette mesure a suscitée non seulement chez vous mais également auprès de ressortissants de la Union européenne, dont certains demeurent dans notre pays depuis plusieurs années.A défaut de pouvoir répondre favorablement à votre demand, je vous informe néamoins, qu'une étude juridique très poussée est en cours auprès de la Caisse Nationale d'Assurance Maladie et du Ministère en charge de la Sécurité Sociale.Des assouplissements sur lesquels je ne peux toutefois m'engager, devaient pouvoir être apportés en vue de corriger les difficultés d'application constatées.Dans l'attente de la parution des textes réglementaires à une date qui n'est pas fixée, je demande à mes services de conserver votre dossier afin de pouvoir vous faire éventuellement bénéficier des dispositions plus favourables qui pourraient être décidées.etc

It is just algae in the water.Add a good amount of chlorochoc to the skimmers and pump non-stop for days, cleaning the filter as you go.Sweep or 'vacuum' the bottom to get the gunk in suspension and through the skimmers and into the filter.Then get the pool ready for winter, and quick !

Hi CatJust an observation...On the "Changes to Healthcare... " thread page, you can see that the sticky at the top was last updated on 29/09/07 which, as everyone knows who's following this terrible saga, is a long time ago.For that reason I for one have not looked at it since September. But now I look at it today, you obviously updated it on 5/11/07. Can you make the sticky say when it was actually last updated to make it obvious that it is current? Then there's no need for an update in other threads.

Hello Glyn,Re : 'are we saying...': Yes. And plus, there is, in general, no provision of private health insurance in France, although some companies may chose to regard this problem as an opportunity and may quote for some cover, which will not be comprehensive. Pre-existing conditions are un-insurable.re: : 'against some law..' maybe, but they have done it in any case. Happy days.

[quote user="cooperlola"]One of my French MEPs (Bernard Poignant) has just written to me to say that he will sign the Honeyball declaration. He has also sent me a copy of a letter to the French health minister - intervening on our behalf.[/quote]Well done... this is good news. At last a step forward for all involved, in engaging the authorities that really matter i.e. the French ones! And in clear and accurate terms too. Could you post Bernard Poignant's letter in French please?

The link is :http://vosdroits.service-public.fr/particuliers/F12017.xhtml?&n=Etrangers%20en%20France&l=N8&n=Citoyens%20communautaires%20en%20France&l=N112#titreN1006AI'm sure 'assurance maladie-maternite' just means the whole assurance maladie, which covers you for maladie as well as maternity! It's under the heading 'Demande facultative de carte de sejour'. So if you apply for an (optional) carte de sejour they will be able to check that you have assurance maladie. Under the heading 'Droit de sejour' is just refers to 'an assurance maladie-maternite' i.e. no use of the word 'complet'.

Because of the wording of Article 7 of EU Directive 2004/38EC we're all talking about the need for comprehensive sickness insurance cover. And the French health issues web site Q & A page has:
And sure enough, in French the EU Directive says:Q. It seems fair to me! Surely everyone can get insurance? A. The requirement is for those affected to have "comprehensive sickness insurance cover in the host member state" (Article 7 of EU Directive 2004/38EC). It is well accepted that insurance companies will not cover "pre-existing medical conditions". If this remains the insurance industry's position, how will people in that situation obtain "COMPREHENSIVE" cover? They will not be able to meet the requirements of the law even if they try. What happens then to those persons already resident in France who will be excluded from state health care and from private cover? 'une assurance maladie complète' i.e. comprehensive.
But I've just noticed that the French Govt's servicepublic.fr site refers to the medical insurance' that EU inactifs must have as:'assurance maladie-maternité offrrant un certain nombre de prestations'
which to me says it doesn't have to be comprehensive. In other words, it's OK if it covers all the conditions you haven't got and doesn't matter (except to you) that it doesn't cover pre-existing conditions.This page has recently been updated to make the distinction between actifs and inactifs. Have they moved the goalposts to remove the arguments of those who can't get 'comprehensive' cover? I'm not sure whether this is a new observation, but to me the French Govt is interpreting (changing) the meaning of the EU directive to meet its own ends. At a stroke they've removed the need for comprehensive cover. -
Dear Chaps,I am sorry if we give the impression that we are naive in this issue bt we are well aware of all the points made by our respondents and have been for a good while.We are sure your points are well based and we agree with the apparent conflict between the CMU issue and our entitlement to permanent residency and associated rights.But the argument is rather sterile when limited to Brit websites: it is the CPAMs that need to be convinced, not us.For that reason we posted the Fact that our CVs will be withdrawn next March when we will have lived in France for five and a half years, notwithstanding all our agreements within these sites. We posted because this is valuable for any who may be 5+ years resident and in CMU who have had 'the letter' and who are trying to make sensible decisions.We will of course continue our discussions with CPAM Lot, but frankly it is hard to imagine that they will decide to rescind a written decision and reverse their position. We do not see at this time any factual wriiten position from the authorities to support the views that our CPAM will reverse its policy.We will of course communicate any further developments as or if they occur.cheers

@ Sunday Driver : sorry to bother you with bashing out the message, which we appreciate and have followed over the past weeks.We hope you are right, and that the CPAM will, in fact, write to us again to overturn their decision to remove our CVs.

Hard Fact: We are resident in France since August 2002 and have Cartes de Séjour which date from 7 January 2003. We have our letter today from CPAM Lot to say we are in CMU until 31st March 2008 when we have to return our CVs. They say that we "do not fulfil the condition of the Article L.121-1 du Code de l'entrée et de séjour des étrangers et du droit d'asile qui stipule, entre autres conditions : que tout ressortissant de l'Union Européenne, de L'Espace Economique Européen, ou de la Conféderation suisse, a le droit de séjourner en France pendant plus de trois mois sous réserve qu'il dispose d'une assurance maladie". They don't refer to the five year residency at all. And there's no reference to what happens to us after 31st March or what we must do. We will challenge this but our view is that the rumoured five year get-out is wishful thinking.
