"The priority is to disentangle the crisis in Europe," Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told news channel BFMTV. "I am profoundly European but we need a different Europe, a Europe that is much more focused on jobs."
Finance Minister Pierre Moscovici reiterated that Paris would not ratify the EU's fiscal austerity pact if it does not include measures to boost growth.
Moscovici also gave assurances that the Socialists would keep public finances under control.
"I want to be very clear, Francois Hollande has said it repeatedly, we must tackle the public debt, reduce deficits, and secure France's situation. That is fundamental, a country that runs up debt is a country that is getting poorer."

法国新任总统弗朗索瓦-奥朗德带领社会党政府本周四正式履新,首项政策即宣布对总统和所有内阁部长一律减薪30%。
在内阁就职会议后,女发言人娜贾•瓦洛-贝勒卡西姆表示,在政府寻求解决法国面临的公共财政困难之际,减薪措施“树立了榜样”。
此举是为了将奥朗德同前任总统萨科齐区分开来,后者在2007年就任总统后,就把总统薪金增加了170%,达到每月2.13万欧元(合2.7万美元)。
奥朗德和总理让马克-埃罗的工资总额降至每月14910欧元,内阁部长的工资总额从每月14200欧元降至9940欧元。
