These questions are put by an ad hoc working group made up of various executives of the French Maritime Institute (IFM) and French Maritime Cluster (CMF). The political figures that emerge from the elections will be questioned as to their intentions and their first decisions, in the light of declarations made by the successful candidate on the same issues. This will be in November 2007 at the IFM National Sea Day (representing the Sea Party), and a summit meeting organised by the CMF (representing French merchant shipping).
