By reading the note that was destined for them, the customs officers did not believe their eyes. In this page of a page, that Le Monde was able to consult, their hierarchy prescribes singular information obligations when “a check is subject to media coverage”. Also, is it indicated, “controls on public or public relations with public information will now be subject to systematic information from the Regional Travelers and Command Permanence.” In particular, the diplomats “with or without mission order, are the representatives of the economic or financial world such as the” DG of Large Corporations, Central Bank Presidents “or” Political Personalities “.
