The aircraft was F-BVFC, not only not scrapped, but even the last Air France Concorde to fly *) .
What was the recommandations from the BEA to the regulator ?
Read the report.
File f-fc790614.pdf on the BEA site.
Whether these recommandations were all applied to the letter is of course not mentioned in the report itself.

*) It was F-BVFD that was scrapped.
Damaged during a hard landing in Dakar and repaired.
Stayed in service, but continued to suffer from increased fuel consumption, hence first candidate when Air France withdraw one of the aircraft from service.
Remained in storage for years, and was finally scrapped when serious corrosion was found.
