How France gave away independence to Europe

With the European Commission recently demanding France hand over extra information on its 2015 budget, author Eric Verhaeghe looks back at how successive governments 'hypnotised the French people' as they relinquished economic sovereignty to Brussels.

Eric Verhaeghe was a former president of the Association for Executives' Employment (APEC) between 2004 and 2009 and is the author of several books.
