BELGIUM-EU-FRANCE-ECONOMY-BUDGET

EU economic and financial affairs commissioner Pierre Moscovici (R) and European Commission vice-president with responsibility for the euro Valdis Dombrovskis give a press conference on February 25, 2015 at the EU Parliament in Brussels. The EU on February 25 gave France a further two years until 2017 to bring its budget deficit back into line with Brussels rules, meaning the eurozone's second biggest economy avoids a fine for now. Paris must however present a reform plan to Brussels by April to show how it intends to get its finances back in order, added the European Commission, the executive body of the 28-nation EU.
