The European policy in France France is one of the 3 biggest member states. The government : defends the country’s interests with the European Committees. The Foreign minister and the minister in charge of the European Affairs : promote the French points of view on the important European Affairs. 74 MEP : working in commissions, are part of the European legislative affairs, vote the European budget.
