France
Privacy
At this time France has not signed a Tax Information Exchange Agreement; it has, however, signed a Mutual Assistance Treaty with the United States. Also, France is a full a participant in the European Union Savings Directive and has agreed to share personal information with other nations. As such, France does not offer a particularly high level of privacy for EU citizens. Furthermore, by agreeing to exchange information as part of the European Union Savings Directive, France has opened itself up to questions about its commitment to protecting the privacy of its foreign investors.
