In a television interview on 5 September 2004, French Finance Minister Nicolas Sarkozy warned that the European Union's ten new Member States must increase company taxes or face losing billions of euros in EU regional aid. The threat echoes a similar warning by Germany's Finance Minister, Hans Eichel, earlier in 2004.
