French rejection of EU treaty 'enormous disappointment': Prodi

ROME - Former EU Commission president Romano Prodi said Sunday he was "enormously disappointed" with France's rejection of the EU constitution, adding that Europe needed to listen to the signal sent by French voters.
"If that indeed is the result, I am enormously disappointed," Prodi, on a family holiday in Crete, was quoted as saying by his office.
"We need to reflect and listen to these signals of apprehension. But at the same time we need to continue tenaciously with the European project," said Prodi, who now leads Italy's centre-left opposition.
