LONDON (Reuters) - France is willing to help Britain's push to reform the European Union ahead of a referendum on the country's membership of the bloc, but remains unsure about some key British proposals, French economy minister Emmanuel Macron said on Thursday.

"My willingness is to help to find an agreement and win the referendum, but my priority today is to understand much more clearly the British requirements in order to avoid any misunderstanding," Macron told reporters in London.
