All the problem was linked to the fact that I wanted to keep the original clipboard unchanged.

If I decide to behave like a pig, I may use :

--{code}

on run
my germaine()
end run

on germaine()


tell application "System Events" -- get frontmost process
set frontmostProcess to first process where it is frontmost -- this will be the script process
if name of frontmostProcess is in {"Script Editor", "AppleScript Editor"} then
set visible of frontmostProcess to false -- hide the script process
repeat while (frontmostProcess is frontmost) -- wait until the script is hidden
delay 0.1
end repeat
set theApp to name of first process where it is frontmost -- get name of frontmost process (ignoring the script process)
set frontmost of frontmostProcess to true -- unhide the script process
else
set theApp to name of frontmostProcess
end if
end tell


set theDate to current date


set leMessage to "Yvan KOENIG running Yosemite 10.10.4 in French (VALLAURIS, France) " & date string of theDate & space & time string of theDate


set the clipboard to leMessage


tell application "System Events" to tell process theApp
set frontmost to true
keystroke "v" using {command down}
end tell


end germaine
--{/code}

And this dirty one inserts leMessage correctly … but of course, the original clipboard is lost.
