Time to rethink EU politics, says France

European Union enlargement should be suspended and France must rethink its EU politics, French Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy said today.

Sarkozy, who is also head of President Jacques Chirac's centre-right governing UMP party, said France's rejection of the EU constitution in a referendum in May showed the need for several changes. "We have to rethink and rework our European politics," he said. The comments came after a meeting of political party leaders, chaired by Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin, on the lessons to be learned from France's "no" vote to the EU constitution.
