Patrick Pelata, former Chief Operating Officer of French carmaker Renault, attends a general assembly meeting with stock holders in Paris April 29, 2011. Pelata resigned his post April 11, taking the flak for an embarrassing fiasco in which Renault, which is 15 percent state-owned, fired three employees suspected of leaking information on electric vehicles who turned out to have done nothing wrong.
