JURIST - Paper Chase: Germany worried about fortunes of EU constitution in French presidential race - by Gabriel Haboubi

German officials have expressed some concern about the future of the proposed European Constitution in light of positions taken by two leading rivals for the French presidency. Newly-chosen French Socialist Party candidate Segolene Royal, and conservative aspirant Nicolas Sarkozy have both shown reservations about approving the charter after French voters rejected it last May. Royal, an initial supporter of the pact, backtracked on it during the past year and Sarkozy has advocated a weaker version of the treaty.
