France's President Nicolas Sarkozy (R) addresses workers during his visit to the Arcelor Mittal steel factory in Gandrange, eastern France February 4, 2008. In January, Arcelor Mittal unveiled plans to close the Gandrange plant by the start of 2009, which would result in 600 job cuts. The French state is ready to fund part of or all necessary investment to keep the steelworks running, President Nicolas Sarkozy said on Monday. REUTERS/Vincent Kessler (FRANCE)
