About two years ago, Britain and France made a military cooperation, which would be considered an interdependency on each other. As this is fairly recent, it can't be described as positive or negative. However, the friendliness between the leaders could indicate a good future as opposed to the troubled past as enemies.

While this doesn't connect with a specific country, France also has dependence on its tourism. In 1998, 7% of the country's profit from exports came from tourism. Without people from other country visiting, France would notice a negative impact. In 2011, it was listed a one of the top three places to travel.

Since the planned closing of all of its nuclear plants, Germany has become dependent on France for nuclear energy. Germany started the closures in 2011 and is scheduled to finish by 2022. This may be a temporary dependence as they are seeking for a greener alternative. However, until such a source can be implemented, Germany will still need to import power. In one month, France earned an additional $86.6 million for Germany's increased need.
