MOSCOW (Sputnik) — During his two-day visit to Paris, Osborne will meet with French ministers of finance, foreign affairs and economy, the Sunday Times said.
Osborne will try to persuade the French side that concessions to Britain were in everyone’s interests since they would make the bloc more "competitive and dynamic," according to the Daily Mail.
Meanwhile, top French diplomat Laurent Fabius warned that UK’s referendum on whether it should stay in or out of the European Union was a dangerous step.
UK Prime Minister David Cameron promised Britain a vote on the so-called Brexit by the end of 2017, although the Independent’s sources indicated the referendum could be fast-tracked to June 2016 to step up pressure on Brussels to accept UK's reform offer.
