PARIS (Reuters) - French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe on Thursday said his government would not rush reform of France's long cherished pension system, perhaps the most perilous yet of the social and economic reforms sought by President Emmanuel Macron.

"We are ready to take the time that is needed," Prime Minister Edouard Philippe said in a speech in which he is expected to set out how and over what time period his government will reform France's convoluted pension system.
