@Novius Yes, it's a shame that such a hefty withholding tax is levied there. You can probably repeat some of it, but who does that if you haven't just built up a huge position?
@Smudeo Yes, France is not particularly business-friendly. However, the bureaucracy there would not affect me directly as a shareholder and $CA now generates a lot of sales outside France. Nevertheless, it is of course an important point that you are making.
