PARIS, Sept 20 (Reuters) - President Jacques Chirac has asked the
French government to refer Hewlett-Packard's (HPQ.N: Quote, Profile,

announcement of the reduction in (the number of) workers at the
Hewlett-Packard group, he asked the government to pursue all the
efforts underway to respond," the source said.
"Given the impact of this plan throughout Europe, he asked the
government to refer it to the European Commission," the source added.
