Still, I do not believe that using the capital G or not is enough to solve the issue about 'un véritable gouvernement économique', although states tend to use capital letters when they address their own and other states.<br /><br />However, I find it interesting that after the Paris summit German media seemed to have the impression that both France and Germany had agreed to "economic government" (Wirtschaftsregierung), whereas later the relevant press release was airbrushed and the letter in German is different from the French verison.Ralf Grahn https://www.blogger.com/profile/02156293782163802007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6406430766424642773.post-84646234409427884352011-08-21T13:45:54.633+03:002011-08-21T13:45:54.633+03:00I think we must distinguish between officially and...I think we must distinguish between officially and legally constituted governments (state governments) and non official governments. As seen in the letter, the official state governments are written "Gouvernement", while written simply as "gouvernement" it does not necessarily refer to an official or legal government. I always understood that Sarkozy and Merkel are both speaking of "gouvernement" (a kind of management), not of "Gouvernement".RENE AGAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13133892580372493923noreply@blogger.com
