I don't understand why ATR would manufacture a repair.

Exactly what motivation is there for them?

It would be no skin off their nose to say it is unfit for repair and sell them a replacement airframe.

Any repair, even manufacturer designed, carries elevated risk of compromised structural integrity - and associated liability, especially as time goes on.

Tell them it's scrap and fly home to France. I would.
