    Relationships Between Value Added Tax and Public Service Delegation (Translation)
    Hi everyone !

    I'm a french female student in international trade law. I had to draft a final dissertation during summer holidays for a graduate given by my university. My subject relate to french tax law and public law. It is about VAT and public service delegation. I have just finish it, and, fortunately for me, I had to draft it in my native langage : french. But, I have to draft a back cover which a small summary in english, the same in french, and a table of content in french. However, the summary translation in english makes me problems. I did it and it takes only nine lines (with the software "Word", font "times new roman", size "12"), but, I don't know if everything is correct. I'm afraid of language mistakes, and that's why I registered on this legal forum.

    I would like to know if a person whose mother tongue is english can help me by reading it and correct the language mistakes ? If there is some voluntary, does private messaging exists on this forum and how does it function ? I can't copy / paste my text directly on this thread, because every french universities use softwares to detect plagiarism. So, if I publish my text on public internet before giving it back to my teachers, my university will believes I cheated by copying a text which belongs to someone else.

    Thank you for yours answers :)

    Please, can an administrator of the forum delete this post ? The dissertation was given back since a few month, it isn't usefull anymore. (Moreover, no one answered). I say delete, not only lock. Thank you.

    For the third time (the first time was the previous post, and second an email to the administrator by the way of "contact us"), please, respect my will and delete this post and my account. Thank you. In my country, people can do it from their own. I don't understand why it's not possible here, and that's why I ask I to the administrator and moderator.

    It doesn't work that way here. Threads and accounts are not deleted just because you want them to be.

    Can you please told me how does it function ? It will be utterly surprising if the only solution, if we want to be censored (with deletion of thread and account), is to use insult or swearword instead of expressing a simple request. In France we have the "right to be forgotten" (droit à l'oubli) and can delete easily every data which concern ourselves on the Internet. It's more practical than violate deliberately the rules of the forum to obtain the same result.

    You are physically in France. You came to a US law forum based out of the US, which is bound by US laws. These owner of this forum chooses not to delete what others post here and you agreed to it when you signed up. You probably don't wanna start a discussion on that silly right to be forgotten law.

    See this thread:

    Why are you so concerned with the existence of this thread? Just walk away from it. Nothing identifies you specifically.

    Pitching a fit will get you banned but your posts will still be here.

    I feel very concern, because of the title of the dissertation, which is very precise, the fact that my first name appear, with the first letter of my familyname (I used it when I registered because french universities use softwares to compare the content of dissertations with the content of the Internet to be sure that nobody cheat, and, if someone had answer to me, I might have been in danger if I did'nt let any clue to prove that I really was the author of the threat). Now, I'm easily identifiable.

    Moreover, I couldn't know reasonably that this forum obey to the US law, because there isn't any clue which show it belongs to this law. The use of english langage and the absence of ".us" in the adress made me think that his forum was british. And Britain is party of the Convention for the Protection of Individuals with regard to Automatic Processing of Personal Data, from which come from the french law. The Common Law country use practically the same law.

    But that's not a problem. International law is my specialty. That's why I now that the fact that is the US law which is competent doesn't change anything in practice. Indeed, your country have signed the Safe Harbor Principle with the european Union (and my country is a member of this entity). One party (the forum) is american, and the other (me) is an european citizen. So, this international convention must be applied. According to this agreement, people can consult, modify or delete the information about them. So, under the US law, you must delete this thread and my account. An international convention is higher than a simple national law. So, the national provisions can't be applied against me. Consequently, the removing of this thread and my account is mandatory.

    It's your fault you used information that could identify you. You were told NOT to do that when posting.

    How could you think this was a British law site? Seriously, 2 seconds of looking should have told that it is not.

    Because it's not written clearly. If you see everything written in french on a website and no indication about the country of creation, how can you know immediately that it's a Belgium, or Swiss site and not a French site ? The problem is exactly the same.

    And I don't care about your principles, because you can oppose it to an american person, but not to an european one because of the international convention. The solution is clear : you don't have choice and must respect the international convention because of its superiority to your national law.

    I don't have to do anything, this isn't my site. The fact they are ignoring your requests to delete your posts should tell you something.

    Also, if I was looking for a specifically French website....I would be more careful with my searching. If I were to stumble across a website that is in French while searching for something, I would take steps to identify if it was French. But that's just me.
