During an 'economic dialogue' meeting with the monetary affairs committee of the European Parliament on 7 May 2015, French finance minister Michel Sapin stated that 'even though there is some truth in them, France is the victim of clichés'.

Mr Sapin added that, despite what was often said and written, 'France is reforming, but reforms require careful negotiation and have to be phased in gently so as to last and avoid social conflict'.
