Nokia CEO says French job pledge is business as usual


    HELSINKI (Reuters) - Finland's Nokia on Friday said its commitment to protect jobs in France following its takeover of Alcatel-Lucent was "nothing that wouldn't make business sense".

    NOKIA (NOK1V.FI)had pledged not to cut French jobs for two years after the closure of the deal, beyond what Alcatel had already planned.

    "There is nothing extraordinary in the commitment to France, nothing that wouldn't make business sense," Chief Executive Rajeev Suri told a news conference.
