French PM lauds ECB growth-support moves, says 'much more' needed

PARIS (Reuters) - French Prime Minister Manuel Valls on Wednesday welcomed European Central Bank efforts to shore up flagging economic growth in the euro zone but said far more needed to be done.

"The ECB lived up to its responsibilities and took action to support growth but, as I said yesterday, much more needs to be done," Valls told France's lower house of parliament, adding that ECB chief Mario Draghi had signalled a readiness to take other steps if needed.
