GoPro readies to take on Wall Street
CNN's Samuel Burke shows off how GoPro cameras have revolutionized home video and its plans to lure new investors.

If we want to negotiate good treaty, we need to have negotiation positions on either side that are balanced, and that are bilateral, and not unilateral. And that's all what I have said. I'm talking about the general atmosphere negotiation. We have a public opinion, you know, in France, you have a public opinion in the United States. There are many voices that are against the treaty, so we are advocating the benefits, the potential benefits of this treaty if it's a good treaty but we need to negotiate in good conditions.
What point does the cultural issue come back up again? I know it was out there at the beginning, I know exceptions were put there. There was a compromised area that was reached. But is it going to come back right at the end as a big, bad issue to be dealt with?
It's not supposed to come back because in the mandate of the negotiation, in the mandate of the European negotiator, it's written black and white that television audio visual services should not be discussed in the negotiations.
It will come back.You know it will come back.
We will see.It will not come back from the commission one, because they have instructions not to discuss that particular point.
But the U.S. is going to bring it back eventually.
Well, we will see, but if the U.S. bring it back then the commissioner won't be allowed to discuss that because there is a mandate that was signed by 28 member states. As it is stipulated, it is not supposed to talk about that within the mandate.
The negotiations go tortuously slow, but we always knew they would be. Where does France now stand on the big issues? Are you happy with the waitings ongoing on tip?
Well as you said, things are going quite slowly, but I think it's quite natural because the ambition of this partnership, of this negotiation is huge.

Actually it's the first time we negotiate for 800 million people. It's the first time we negotiate not on the tariffs but also non-tariff areas that we negotiate on the convergence of regulatory issues and on standards and norms. And it's a huge challenge I think on both sides of the Atlantic. So it's, I mean, and with the electoral and political agenda, the renewal of the commision on one side, the election on this side, I think it's quite obvious that will take some time.
When do you think an agreement will be signed?
Well, that's a difficult expectation. Best Guess will be the end of 2015.
