said the two countries, for decades the axis around which the EU
revolved, had to help refocus the bloc to tackle an immigration crisis, a
lack of solidarity between member states, Britain's looming exit, and
terrorism.
'Europe is in danger of falling apart,' Valls said at an event organised by the Sueddeutsche Zeitung newspaper. 'So Germany and France have a huge responsibility.

France must continue to open up its economy, not least by cutting
corporate taxation, while Germany and the EU as a whole must increase
investment that would stimulate growth and job creation, as well as
boosting defence.
As
Britain seeks to negotiate its post-Brexit relationship with the EU,
hoping to restrict immigration from the EU while maintaining as much
access as possible to the EU single market, Valls said it must be
prevented from cherry-picking.
'If they are able to have all the advantages of Europe without the inconveniences, then we are opening a window for others to leave the European Union,' Valls said.
