[1] The Mattéoli Mission Final Report[2] was published in 2000 and contains information about the dispossession of the Jews during the German occupation of France and proposals concerning compensation and remembrance.
[9] At the CRIF dinner, Prime Minister Alain Juppé announced that he was going to create a commission to study the plundering of the Jews in France during the Nazi occupation.
[11] The vice-presidency was entrusted to Professor Ady Steg, doctor, son of a deportee, activist in Jewish organizations, and president of the Alliance Israelite Universelle.
Following the first recommendations of the two progress reports of this mission, published in January 1998 and 1999, a Commission for the compensation of victims of spoliations resulting from the anti-Semitic legislation in force during the Occupation was set up.
11 of the general report of the "Mattéoli mission" provides that "the unclaimed funds of any kind resulting from the spoliation must be paid by public and private institutions to the Foundation for Memory".
The Prime Minister indicated, on April 19, 2000, that "these proposals obtained from him an agreement in principle and that after an inter-ministerial work, he would announce in the coming weeks the follow-up that the Government intends to reserve for them".
