French Senate Holds Hearings on Bitcoin

“The Senate Finance Committee hearing on 15th January was chaired by Philippe Marini of political party UMP, and featured a number of high-profile representatives from the Bank of France, the Treasury Department, the Ministry of Finance’s anti-money laundering arm Tracfin (Traitement du renseignement et action contre les circuits financiers clandestins), DNRED (National Directorate of Intelligence and Customs Investigations) and FING (Fondation Internet Nouvelle Génération).  The initial focus seemed to be on the risks and hazards of ‘unregulated currencies’ and the ability to exchange them into ‘real world’ legal tender.”
