Dominique Barbet quote: "Globally, confidence is still positive but we can't expect sales to take off or spending to surge. What seems to be happening is that while the jobless rate is falling, people are seeing less salary rises as the 35-hour week brings wage moderation, so morale is not so good among consumers."

This can be attributed to the slowdown and restraint ahead of the euro.
