BRUSSELS, July 7 (AFP): Despite a promise to step up France's role in the European Union, French President Nicolas Sarkozy risks riling Paris' partners in the eurozone Monday over his economic policies.
True to his image as a whirlwind of activity, the new French leader has invited himself to a regular dinner meeting Monday of finance ministers from the 13 countries sharing the euro.
"This unusual move should be seen as an attempt to add political weight to help smooth the discussion of his plan to delay by two years the elimination of the public deficit in France."
