Wires carrying comments from French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire regarding the Green Deal Industrial Plan announced earlier today by Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

  • Le Maire states that the Commissions 'strong proposals' for green industrial policy go in the direction France has called for.
