FRANCE: DIOXIN EFFECTS ON EGG CONSUMPTION
Article Abstract:
The result of some fear generated by the dioxin and mad cow disease issues, French consumers tend to favour organic eggs, eggs with a date stamp on them, and eggs from laying hens kept in open-air. During the first six months of 1999, these sectors took 6%, 37.7% and 12% of the market (hyper and supermarkets) by value respectively. By volume, their respective shares reached 3%, 36.4% and 9%. Thus, eggs with a date stamp on them now account for as much as fresh eggs by volume (36.2%), which reported a 4% decrease while the other sector, extra fresh eggs (17% market share by value, 15.4% by volume) was down 8.5%. Actually, eggs with a date stamp should keep going up to account for 75% of the total sales of prepacked eggs in the year 2000, both in volume and value terms according to ACNielsen. Organic eggs did even better, up 50% between mid-May and mid-August 1999 compared to the same year-earlier period. Sales of eggs through super and hypermarkets reported a 2.6% decrease during the first seven months of 1999.

FRANCE: CONSUMPTION BY REGION
Article Abstract:
Comareg, the French free press leader, has carried out the Geopub survey, which analyses data from Sofres' Metascope panel. This analysis takes into account the accessibility and density of both the commercial and media selection, and came up with 73 'pools of life' or urban spheres. French people's level of income, of education, and their behaviour differ according to the town the live in, and therefore their consumption differs according to region. The French, who log onto the Internet the most are those living in Paris, Amiens, Brest, Nancy, Strasbourg, Poitiers, Clermont-Ferrand, Annemasse, Grenoble, Toulouse, Montpellier, and Avignon. Now Comareg is working on a new data analysis of Paris in order to create five 'micro-pools' there.

FRANCE: REFORMING NATL CONSUMPTION INSTITUTE
Article Abstract:
The French National Consumption Institute (INC) is going to be reformed. According to Henri Chabert, the butter reporter for the French National Assembly's financial services, this will be carried out through regulations, and will reduce the representation of consumers in the INC. He says that this reform is going to cause a representativeness problem because consumers who have a seat in the Institute will be named by the minister rather than be elected as they are at present.
