Testimonials

Since the moment I became an AmCham member in 1986 I have looked to the organization as a source of information, networking, and support. AmCham has not only never let me down, it has consistently come through with above-and-beyond service, enthusiasm and true concern for the issues and challenges facing those of us who do business internationally in general and in France in particular. Through the years, participation in various AmCham Task Forces has been an especially enlightening and enjoyable experience. I highly encourage anyone doing business in or with France to take advantage of the all that AmCham membership has to offer.

AmCham France has privileged relations with the U.S. Embassy and its corps of high-level diplomats, right up to the Ambassador. Access to these officials is a top priority for Cisco. And AmCham France gets through to them faster and more effectively than we could on our own. The embassy recognizes — and hears — the voice of AmCham France without any interference. The message gets through, even if it isn’t necessarily identified as being part of our corporate communications. We appreciate having our voice heard, especially if our name isn’t attached to the message. The messenger gets heard more easily if the message goes through AmCham France. AmCham is essential to us, as it should be to any subsidiary in France of a U.S. company.

The European Union’s directives can affect employment and operations here in France. It’s important for us to have a voice at the EU table, and AmCham France helps us do this through our participation in the European Council of AmChams (ECACC) and by our collaboration with AmCham EU, a powerful lobbying organization. EU directives have an important impact on all U.S. firms in Europe, and through AmCham France and its network, we project our voice at a European level. Just to name examples that affect all of us, the services directive, data privacy, and REACH are EU issues that ECACC addresses. They affect manufacturers, as well as service-providers. We applaud all the efforts that AmCham, whether in France or elsewhere in Europe, can make to ensure our business

En tant que mandataire social de la société AT&T en France, qui est membre de la Chambre de Commerce Américaine en France (AmCham), je peux attester de l’intérêt d’adhérer à l’AmCham.  En effet en tant que membre de l’AmCham, ma société participe aux nombreux événements organisés par l’AmCham (une centaine par an), pendant lesquels les réseaux professionnels peuvent se développer.

AT&T a pu ainsi accéder à des personnalités Françaises de premier plan lors de petits déjeuners interactifs avec François Chérèque, Françoise de Panafieu, Laurence Parisot et aussi à des personnalités Américaines en visite telles que :
-Michelle O’Neill (US Deputy Under Secretary for International Trade)
-Constance Morella (US Ambassador at OECD)
-David Gross (US Ambassador for International Communications and Information Policy)
Les discussions sont relatives aux intérêts des sociétés Américaines en France et peuvent aussi favoriser le développement des activités des sociétés Françaises aux Etats-Unis.

Dans le cadre de la Task Force New Media & Information Technology à laquelle participe AT&T, les sujets abordés permettent de rencontrer des personnalités telles que :
-Alice Pezard, présidente de la 4è chambre de la cour d’appel de Paris
-Patrick Raude, membre du collège de l’Arcep
-Emmanuel Galba, chef du Service Technologies au ministère des Finances
Les recommandations de ces Task Forces sont largement diffusées comme l’AmCham est accréditée auprès de la Chambre de Commerce US et travaille étroitement avec la Chambre de Commerce de l’Union Européenne.

Enfin, les activités de lobby sont appuyées par des contributions à la revue de l’AmCham sous forme d’article (par exemple sur les problématiques de gestion du spectre de fréquences dans les Télécommunications).
