The region is considered a 'disadvantaged area', giving it entitlement to substantial aid through the government's 'Compensatory Allowance for Natural Handicap' program (Indemnite compensatoire de handicaps naturels, ICHN). The map of disadvantaged areas is currently being revised and Fanjeaux may be part of the 1,4000 communes removed from the list of disadvantaged areas. / AFP PHOTO / Eric CABANIS (Photo credit should read ERIC CABANIS/AFP/Getty Images) https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2018-03-29/inflation-fears-bypass-the-bond-market https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2018-03-29/inflation-fears-bypass-the-bond-market Thu, 29 Mar 2018 11:00:11 GMT Tokyo, JAPAN: Crafworkers with loopes compare blown-up sections of counterfeit hundred-dollar bills with a sample legitimate bill expanded 400 times larger than the real size at their office in Tokyo, 24 May 2006.
