在星期四晚上的一次讲话中，萨科奇也对欧元区将面临的漫长和艰苦的道路发出警告。
Sarkozy said France and Germany want a new eurozone pact and treaty reforms that demand more discipline, more solidarity and more responsibility toward Europe's citizens.
萨科奇说，法国和德国想要一个新的欧元区协定和条约改革，这些条约需要具备更严格的纪律，更加团结以及对欧洲公民负更多的责任。
But analysts say shorter-term solutions are also critical to restore confidence and help ailing eurozone members, along with the longer-term ones the two leaders are proposing.
可是，分析人士说，短期的解决方案也很关键，因为短期解决方案加上法德两国领导人将要提出的长期解决方案，可以恢复信心，帮助那些经济衰退的欧元区成员国。
Sarkozy's speech also comes just months before French presidential elections. The main opposition Socialist Party swiftly criticized the president for abandoning French sovereignty on fiscal matters and taking his marching orders from Germany.
萨科奇是在离法国大选还有几个月的时候发表这一讲话的。法国主要的反对派社会党迅速批评萨科奇总统在金融问题上放弃法国的主权，听命于德国。
