French Labour Minister Xavier Darcos answers questions during an interview with Reuters in Paris, February 1, 2010. A planned reform of France's pensions system will inevitably lead to people retiring later, Darcos told Reuters on Monday. Darcos is due to meet union leaders and the French employers' federation on February 15 to work out a timetable for what looks likely to be difficult negotiations, with the government hoping to reach a deal by the end of the year.
