[eng] French electrical household equipment industry is a small sector with a working force of 15000 employees scattered within 90 firms with 10 employees and more, their total turn over reached 5 bn Francs in 1983. The sector is typical of the French industry:. — In spite of improving results in exports, the trade balance is negative towards the main industrialized countries.. — The sluggish tendancy prevailing on the French building market hampers the development of homemarket.. — An important effort towards modernization and production automation is vital to this industry.. The importance of the results at stake is self evident if you consider that LEGRAND Co is european number one in his branch and that overwhelming regulation and standardization rules are in force.

[fre] L'industrie de l'appareillage électrique d'installation est un petit secteur - 15 000 salariés répartis dans quelques 90 entreprises de 10 salariés et plus ; un chiffre d'affaires de 5 milliards de francs en 1983 - mais très représentatif de l'industrie française dans son ensemble :. — malgré son effort à l'exportation, elle souffre encore d'un déficit des échanges avec certains grands pays industrialisés. — le développement de son marché intérieur est freiné par une activité du bâtiment en récession. — elle doit consentir aujourd'hui un effort exceptionnel de modernisation et d'automatisation de la production.. Cependant la présence du groupe Legrand - n° 1 européen dans sa spécialité - et l'importance de la réglementation et de la normalisation, particularisent ici les enjeux.
