EU Commission to raise France 2015 GDP forecast: Le Journal du Dimanche

The Commission will also cut its forecast for France's 2016 growth to 1.7 percent from 1.8 percent, according to the newspaper.

A spokeswoman for the Commission declined to confirm or deny the report on Sunday.

"We will present the numbers on Tuesday," she said.

The new forecasts would be in line with those given a month ago by Paris-based international think-tank the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.
