46 Barbie, Klaus

Most notably, he was responsible for the torture and possible murder of Resistance leader Jean Moulin, and for the deportation to Auschwitz of 44 children from an orphanage at Izieu, a small town to the east of Lyon. After the war, he fled to Latin America, eventually ending up in Bolivia. In 1983 he was finally exradited to France, where he was put on trial in Lyon for crimes against humanity.

47 Contrat Première Embauche
, CPEThe CPE was introduced by the Villepin government in 2006, in an attempt to reduce France's high levels of youth unemployment. It created a new form of work contract for young people, with less guarantees of job security than normal French work contracts. Left-wing student unions, encouraged by opposition parties, protested vigorously against the new contract, calling it discriminatory against youth, and an attack on the acquired social rights of employees. It was portrayed as a contract by which employers would be free to sack young employees without reason. In scenes reminiscent of 1968 (seesoixante- huit), students closed down a number of universities and set up barricades. After initially refusing to give in, the government eventually decided to scrap the CPE which by the, according to opinion polls, had become a very unpopular plan.Dictionnaire Français-Anglais.

48 Espace
The original European "monospace" vehicle, first produced in 1984 byRenault. The initial concept for the Espace was actually conceived in the Rootes/Chrysler design facility in Coventry, England; this facility was associated with Chrysler's French subsidiary, Matra-Simca. When Chrysler sold their UK operations to Peugeot, the latter were not interested in the monospace project, so Matra teamed up with Renault, who eventually went ahead with the project and launched what has since become one of the company's flagship models.Dictionnaire Français-Anglais.

49 Intermittents du Spectacle
People working intermittently in the media and culture sector, including part-time actors, stage hands and technicians. At the start of the twenty-first century, les Intermittents du Spectaclebenefited from extremely attractive conditions for obtaining unemployment benefit - far less stringent that conditions applied to other types of worker. Judging that the system was being abused and exploited both by many workers themselves and by the media and production companies employing them, the government decided in 2003 to tighten the conditions of entitlement to unemployment benefit. This led to massive strikes and protest actions by the Intermittents, and even to the cancellation of the 2003 Avignon theatre festival. The rules were eventually tightened up in 2006, though Intermittents still benefit from an easier entitlement to benefits than most other employees.Dictionnaire Français-Anglais.

50 Lip
Iconic French watch manufacturer, the most spectacular victim of the collapse of the French watch industry in the early 1970s. In 1973, the Lip factory in Besançon became a symbol of worker contestation; employees refused to accept the closure of the plant, and took it over in an act of defiance. Watch production continued for several weeks, until the plant was stormed by riot police. 100,000 people gathered in Besançon on 29th September, in support of the workers, but eventually the plant was closed down and sold to businessman Claude Neuschwander. Production started up again, but the company was unable to compete against cheap eastern imports, and went into liquidation in 1976. Later, the brand name was bought, and Lipwatches are again produced - but mostly in China. A few are produced in France, but not in Besançon. -
51 Madelin, Alain
Born 1946Former minister, Alain Madelin is renowned as the most strident defender of economic liberalism in France, during the early 1990s, at a time when "liberalism" was still the "L" word, even for many French conservatives. A right-wing activist during his student days, virulently anti-Socialist, Madelin later joined Giscard d'Estaing's centre-right UDF party. He held a number of ministerial portfolios, eventually being appointed Minister of Finance and the Economy by prime minister Edouard Balladur in 1995; Balladur however sacked him after three months, judging Madelin too liberal. In reality, Madelin was ahead of his times, and many of his economic ideas - aimed at freeing up the French economy - have since been put in place. In 1997, he became president of the Parti Républicain (PR), which he later renamed Démocratie Libérale(DL): in 2003 DL merged with the mainstream conservative UMP party. Madelin retired from politics in 2007.Dictionnaire Français-Anglais. Agriculture Biologique > Madelin, Alain

52 UDF
Union pour la Démocratie Française, a centre-right political party founded in 1978 as a party of non-Gaullist conservative supporters of president Valéry Giscard d'Estaing. Built out of the previous Républicains Indépendants party, the UDF remained the second force on the right of French politics until 1995 when it foundered as members split their loyalties between two presidential hopefuls of the time, Jacques Chirac and Edouard Balladur. Since then, the party lost ground and support, before eventually being wound down by its leader François Bayrou, in order to set up a new centre party, the MoDem or Mouvement Démocratique, in 2007.
