So Mr Sarkozy finds himself having to sort out another tricky industrial problem, and hoping to repeat his success at Airbus. It is no wonder that French political leaders get sucked into such matters: the tentacles of the French state stretch deep into the country's industry. The nationalising state and its successor, the privatising state, have been succeeded by the blander-sounding shareholding state. The French approach to privatisation has been to convert state firms into proper limited and listed companies, but with the state keeping big slices of the shares in key firms, and small holdings in others

los tentáculos del Estado se arraigan profundamente en la industria fracesa
Another option. I have not qualified the State as french, because I have shifted that info to "industry" and then it becomes understood that it refers to the "French"state, since, if it were any other foreign State you would say so.
