French PM supports EU arms for China

French Prime Minister Raffarin strongly supports lifting the EU arms embargo placed on China after the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre:
"France continues to ask for a lifting of the embargo, and does not see what could lead the European Council [the member states] to change position on that question."
Immediately after making the statement above, Raffarin and his Chinese counterpart, Wen Jiabao, attended a ceremony in which both had an interest:
Both Prime Ministers attended a ceremony inking a 2.4 billion euro deal for 30 Airbus aircraft after the meeting.
Money talks.
