Hi jcjeant,
Where are inquiries .. investigations and reports (recommendations) of the BEA concerning all the pitots events (incidents) concerning french registered aircraft prior AF447 event ?
Perhaps the answer lies in the first paragraph of the BEA mission statements.
The BEA (Bureau d'Enquêtes et d'Analyses pour la sécurité de l'aviation civile) is the French authority responsible for carrying out safety investigations relating to accidents or serious incidents in civil aviation.
The statement pertains to French aviation investigations or international aviation investigations where French citizens are involved and where the BEA would be a participant in the investigation but not the leader.

In the instance of the pitot tube events, none of the nine, involving French airlines, were considered to be serious incidents or incidents that resulted in accidents requiring investigation, if I interpret correctly.

I am just reading from the BEA's mission on their English homepage.
