|I, Olivier Mallet,
        certify that:
      Ihave reviewed
          this annual report on Form 20-F as amended by this Form 20-F/A of Pechiney;
        Based on
          my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a
          material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the
          statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements
          were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this
          report;
        Based on
          my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information
          included in this report, fairly present in all material respects the
          financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the company
          as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;
        The companys
          other certifying officer and I are responsible for establishing and
          maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange
          Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the company and have:
          Designed
              such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure
              controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to
              ensure that material information relating to the company, including
              its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within
              those entities, particularly during the period in which this report
              is being prepared;
            [Paragraph
              omitted pursuant to SEC Release No. 34-47986.]
            Evaluated
              the effectiveness of the companys disclosure controls and
              procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about the
              effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the
              end of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation;
              and
            Disclosed
              in this report any change in the company's internal control over
              financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by the
              annual report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely
              to materially affect, the company's internal control over financial
              reporting; and |  | The companys
          other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our most recent
          evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the companys
          auditors and the audit committee of the companys board of directors
          (or persons performing the equivalent functions):
          All significant
              deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation
              of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably
              likely to adversely affect the companys ability to record,
              process, summarize and report financial information; and
            Any
              fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
              employees who have a significant role in the companys internal
              control over financial reporting.
