"EU urges France to face up to globalisation

France should shrug off its “europessismism” and embrace the opportunities of globalisation, the European commission president said on Tuesday.

Speaking at the start of the ‘summer university’ meeting organised by MEDEF, France’s main employers’ union, José Manuel Barroso said that he was “surprised” by the country’s apparent distrust of “market forces”.

“A recent survey shows that only 36 per cent of French people are in favour of market economies… but I am surprised by the disparity between the public perception and the reality.”"
