Brown supports Sarkozy's agenda for EU presidency

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown says he will give full support to France's agenda for reform as it takes over the EU presidency next month.

Brown says he believes "the agenda on migration, on climate change and on the economy will put Europe in a better place over the next few months to deal with the challenges we all face together."

Brown had lunch with French President Nicolas Sarkozy in Paris on Thursday. They are both heading to a European Union summit in Brussels that will focus on soaring food and fuel prices. France takes the rotating EU presidency from Slovenia on July 1.
