Air France has his own official Medical Center too.
The Air France autority above the supposed independant BEA is better hidden, but appears occasionaly. I.E. in the Ste Odile crash the AIR INTER pilots used AIR FRANCE approach charts (Melting of Air Inter/ Air France had already started) without "FAF" !!!!!Take time to reread the report, you find no recommandation to add the FAF position missing on ...ALL the AF's approach charts!!!! But AF modified very quickly ALL his approach charts (ATLAS/AIR FRANCE) adding the FAFs' positions.
In the Ste Odile crash missing FAF allowed descent at the 15% (ground) rate from 3660 Ft - D9 Nm to STR until the STR VOR altitude 1340 Ft.... threw the BLOSS , with CFIT at 2620 Ft reported by the BEA without that analysis).
The official chart had the FAF position (7NM to STR) : AF drawed their own charts, not applying the ICAO rules (known as PROMIN in the French law.
Dozy, Do you need other examples of the DGAC dependance toward Air France?
