French economy minister says needs to understand UK's EU reforms


    LONDON (Reuters) - French economy minister Emmanuel Macron said France was willing to help Britain's push to reform the European Union ahead of a referendum on the country's membership of the bloc, but he remained unsure about some British proposals.

    "My willingness is to help to find an agreement and win the referendum but my priority today is to understand much more clearly the British requirements in order to avoid any misunderstanding," Macron told reporters in London.
