France reaches landmark deal with Google

http://www.euronews.com/ France has inked a landmark agreement with Google, under which the web giant will pay 60 million euros into a new fund to help media outlets increase their online revenue. In return, French publishers will stop pushing Google to pay them for posting links to their content. The firm's Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt came to Paris to seal the deal with French President François Hollande. Hollande had threatened to draft a law forcing the tech giant to pay media for linking to their content if a solution was not found. The President said he was proud the two sides had finally resolved a long-running dispute: "The fund will help our press adapt to the digital age. It will also help investment and innovation, which is good for the French press, for content and also for Google," Hollande said. France's agreement with Google is the first of its kind on such a scale, although the company settled a similar dispute with Belgian publishers last month.

Google and France had a dispute that they have solved with money. The president of the high technology giant "Google", signed an agreement with the French president Francois Hollande.
The President Hollande is now very satisfied because this amount of money will be very useful for paying French innovation projects.
I haven't understood very well why Google and the French government had a problem. It seems that Google linked French informations without pay a price for them. Majority problems have a solution if persons accept to speak in order to deal a solution.
Thanks in advance for correcting my exercise.
