Not sure what the tolerances are for speedos in Europe, but over here the ADR's dictate that a speedometer may have an error tolerance up to 10%, but must not read under the prescribed speed.
So at 100kph, a speedo is allowed to read 109, but not 99. So if you're doing 105, you're regarded as speeding, negating speedo error.

I believe the Gendarmerie in France have a zero tolerance, and can fine you for doing 1 kph above the limit. Their word is pretty much final, and do not need to prove their findings.
However they do under record speeds to allow for a margin of error. Importantly they fine you on the spot, and carry cuffs and guns.
