France would not allow foreign control on ADP after privatisation: Finance Minister

France would block any moves by a foreign power to gain control of ADP, the airport's company whose possible privatisation has been approved by the government, Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said on Sunday.

"If a foreign power wanted to gain control of ADP, the response would be 'No'," Le Maire told a programme hosted jointly by CNews TV, Europe 1 radio and Les Echos newspaper.

"The French state will have the last word regarding who might be ADP's principal shareholder," he added.
