Editing Foreign relations of France (section)

===Europe===
France has maintained its status as key power in Western Europe because of its size, location, strong economy, membership in European organizations, strong military posture and energetic diplomacy. France generally has worked to strengthen the global economic and political influence of the EU and its role in common European defense and [[collective security]].

France supports the development of a [[European Security and Defence Identity]] (ESDI) as the foundation of efforts to enhance security in the European Union. France cooperates closely with Germany and Spain in this endeavor.

A chronic point of contention is the future of the [[European Union]]. Under French president [[Charles de Gaulle]] France opposed on several occasions the UK joining the European Economic Community (as the EU was then called).  De Gaulle argued that the UK had extensive alliances outside Europe, especially with the United States, and was famously suspicious of its European neighbours. After the UK joined the EEC, British Prime Minister [[Margaret Thatcher]] argued for and won a reduction of its contributions to the EEC budget.  As Prime Minister, [[Tony Blair]] expressed scepticism at French economic policies, but forged an alliance with President [[Nicolas Sarkozy]].
