Unless they are playing with words somehow. But surely a company whose head office is in a particular country has to be registered in that country. So \"McDonalds France\", for example, might be a French company, be French registered, even if we associate it with US cultural and gastronomic imperialism.

agree  Charlie Bavington: yes, with the proviso that "siège" is more properly "registered office", which makes your "head office" point redundant, but doesn't make you wrong :-) However in this case it IS vital to distinguish "registered" from "head" office.//fair point, old chap

  -> We don't know whether it's siège social (I admit that is what I read/understood) or siège administratif, so it's still open, but would having simply a registered office in a country make it a "national" of that country? M'be they're playing on words tho'.
