The 59-year-old called for wide-scale reform of a system which is widely unpopular in countries including Britain. Mr Sarkozy wants EU powers to deal only with specific areas including industry, agriculture, and trade. He is particularly concerned about the open borders policy in the EU, which assists illegal immigration. Referring to the Schengen agreement, which allows open frontiers among 26 European states, Mr Sarkozy said: I no longer believe in the possibility of changing things in Europe from the inside. On Schengen, the situation can no longer continue.
