France to discuss deficit deadlines with EU - Sapin



    PARIS (Reuters) - France's newly reshuffled government will pursue deficit-cutting objectives but it will seek a review of the deadlines with the European Union, new Finance Minister Michel Sapin said on Thursday.

    "It is the timing which will be discussed, with common interests in mind ... It is in Europe's interest to find the right timing," Sapin told France Inter radio.
