He was Secretary of State for Foreign Trade under the Minister of Economy, Finance and Industry, Christine Lagarde.

He is of Jewish origin.() ==Life and career== Lellouche was born in Tunis, Tunisia, among the small local Jewish community. He defended a traditional view of the family during the discussions concerning the Pacte civil de solidarité (PACS), a form of civil union, during which he mentioned some “homophobic” arguments according to several observers.〔Camille Robcis, (''How the Symbolic Became French: Kinship and Republicanism in the PACS Debates'' ), Discourse, 26.3 (Fall 2004), 2005 Wayne State University Press, Detroit Michigan, p.6 ((article available here )).〕〔Dr Enda McCaffrey, (''The Gay Republic: Sexuality, Citizenship and Subversion in France'' ), Ashgate, 2005, p. 206〕 However later on in 2003 he was in favour of a law introducing harsher punishments for abuses against homosexuals. He is also a strong opponent of the solidarity tax on wealth (ISF) first voted under François Mitterrand. Now a supporter of President Nicolas Sarkozy, he is also a member of the UMP group named "Les Réformateurs," counting around 80 deputies, and which advocates the deep reform of the administration and the liberalization of the economy. Lellouche was also the French negotiator concerning the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, finally implanted in Cadarache in France. Lellouche has recently called the UK Conservative Party's policy on the EU "pathetic" and a kind of political autism claiming "They have essentially castrated your UK influence in the European parliament." He is divorced from Anne-Laure Banon, half-sister of Tristane Banon, in the news in 2011 for opposing lawsuits by and against Dominique Strauss-Kahn, his former opponent in the 1993 legislative elections. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pierre Lellouche」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
