Until I know, I reserve my judgement.
I was chatting to a French Controller on Monday evening and he said one of the main gripes was the cutting back of maintenance. There used to be 24hr cover, but it is being pared back to a 7am-7pm operation. If something non essential breaks out of hours, they are expected to cope with reduced facilities until the morning.
