I posted this to SIG Forum and Glocktalk already, but as this is one of those deals which happens once per decades, here it is again.
I find this info originally on website of German magazine Visier :
It is the biggest pistol order in history of post-war Europe, France decided for SIG SAUER Modell 2022 (9mm), which is based on SIG Pro 2009. It is intended to enter service with National Police, Gandermerie and Custom service. The order is for 200 000 pistols. French Gandermerie is currently using Beretta 92G, where the "G" means Gandermerie and is utilising decock/no safety lever on French request.

Product sheet for SP2022 (in english)is here:

excrept from the text - improvements of SP 2022 over SP2009:
* Picantinny rail
* Improved shape of the front of trigger guard
* Bigger disassembly notch
* Loaded chamber indicator
* Bigger notch on the decocking lever
* Grips with integrated lanyard attachment
* Built in transponder for comprehensive information about the pistol (?!)
