Never let the facts get in the way of a good xenophobic rant. I would recommend a browse on the DGAC Website.
The DGAC does accept other ICAO IRs, including the FAA IR, and it will endorse such licences for use in French aircraft, provided that the licence holder is not an EU resident.
In this way, the FAA or other ICAO licence can't be used as a quick way to a back-door JAA IR.
We won't even go that far in the UK.
