President Sarkozy

Asked what the main issues would be on the agenda for the Prime Minister’s meeting with President Sarkozy on Thursday, and would there be a joint deal on nuclear technology, the Prime Minister’s Spokesman (PMS) replied that they would discuss a wide range of issues including the economy and reform of the international institutions – an issue that they had spoken about at length in the past and which the Prime Minister had spoken about most recently in his speech in India a couple of months ago. No doubt they would discuss a range of live European issues, and other issues such as energy and energy security. On the question of a specific deal on nuclear technology, it was best to wait for the Summit – but the general issues around energy and energy security were likely to come up.

Asked if immigration would be discussed, the PMS replied that he was sure that immigration would come up as well as we were very close neighbours.

Asked if NATO would be discussed, the PMS replied that he was sure all of these issues would come up.

Asked if Sarah Brown would be doing anything with Carla Bruni, the PMS replied that there was a separate event involving Sarah Brown and Carla Bruni on Thursday.

Asked if there was anything in the schedule to enable the two leaders to watch the France v England game, the PMS replied that unfortunately he thought that the match would coincide with the state banquet on the Wednesday evening.
