France and Germany aim to put forward joint proposals in March for completing Europe’s union on bank regulation and capital markets, as well as a common corporate tax base, French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said Thursday.
The idea would then be to expand the agreement to all euro-area states by June, he added.
