France has to accelerate in terms of reform.

France on its own cannot impose its point of view. But neither should it give up on its demands. With a clear vote for change France will be in a strong position.

We need to go faster on structural reforms in France.

To be influential in tomorrow's world, to defend our values and our development model, France needs Europe and Europe needs France.

France has to reform, to recover, and get more competitiveness.

We find ourselves in a difficult situation in Europe. There's a crisis, weak growth, unemployment... my duty is to ensure that by the end of my mandate France is in a better state than it was at the beginning.

France needs to find something that makes it stand out. It's not enough for it to do almost as well as its neighbors.

What the French want is coherence, stability and justice. If I am in a favorable position today, it's because my fellow citizens want to make the effort to straighten out the country, and at the same time they want it to be just and equitable.

Now since France has three times in sixty years failed to obtain practical results from Political revolutions, all Europe is apt to press forward into new Social doctrine to regulate the future.

France needs to improve training and education and the level of skills of its workforce.
