François Hollande has told Google chair Eric Schmidt that France intends to proceed with plans to force the search giant to pay when it links to news content. Hollande, culture minister Aurélie Filippetti and small business minister Fleur Pellerin, met Schmidt yesterday and one of the items on the agenda was France's desire to make Google pay for content. Hollande said in a statement that he hopes negotiations between Google and news organisations can begin quickly and be concluded by the end of the year. He said he was prepared to legislate. Google has threatened to remove all links to French newspapers from its search results, depriving them of what it says is four billion clicks a month.
