PARIS (Reuters) - The centre-right candidate to head the European Commission said on Wednesday he would not hesitate to propose foreign exchange policy guidelines binding on the European Central Bank if the euro were to become too strong.

Former Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker, who heads the centre-right European People's Party campaign in this month's European Parliament elections, told reporters he could not disagree with those, notably in France, who contend that the 17-nation single currency is too strong.
