Figures from the Organization for the Economic Co-operation and Development show that France is riding high in the top
10 of the most productive European countries. However, analysts and politicians across Europe are becoming increasingly concerned that France, Europe's second-largest economy after Germany, is rapidly losing its competitiveness. The exchange of letters has been played out on a broader landscape of rising unemployment and fears that French industry will fall further behind as its economy slumps. Titan International plays on the hard reputation of its CEO, who also made an attempt to run for U.S.
president in 1996 for the Republicans. The company's website features a biography explaining that the nickname comes from his "tough negotiating style" in Washington as well as a logo and sound of a roaring grizzly bear wearing shades. Late Wednesday, the company's website appeared to have been hacked. It bore the message "You have been hacked" over a photo of loops of tangled barbed wire, and featured obscene taunts against Taylor.
