I'm still no wiser as to who is affected by this law and what exactly
they're required to do.
Can someone please give a broader context for this, for someone who
knows nothing of the specific institutions named here?
That is, what would you put in a press release for a foreign audience
who knew nothing about the prior situation nor the French legal system
nor the specifics of these institutions? What is the good news?
