PARIS (Reuters) - French President Francois Hollande said on Tuesday that France and Germany should harmonise corporate taxes and proposed a joint Franco-German company to drive the switch to renewable energy modelled on European planemaker Airbus.

"We have to create a convergence in tax policies, starting with corporation tax," Hollande told a news conference, adding that the new German coalition's decision to create a minimum wage was a first step.
