Brexit deal ‘good news for French economy’, says minister

PARIS, Nov 15, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – The proposed Brexit withdrawal agreement
is “good news for the French economy”, French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire
said on television Thursday.

The fact that an agreement has been found “is good news for the French
economy, good news for all French firms. It’s in everyone’s interest that
Brexit should go ahead smoothly”, he told France 2 TV.

British Prime Minister Theresa May will on Thursday begin trying to sell
her Brexit deal to parliament, boosted by news that Europe is preparing a
rapid summit to sign off on the agreement
