“It is not really responsible behavior,” he told a news conference. “It is not well brought up behavior. They missed a good opportunity to keep quiet.”
Chirac was angered when EU candidates Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic joined pro-U.S. EU members such as Britain, Spain and Italy last month in a letter supporting Washington’s line on Iraq against the more dovish stance of France and Germany.
Paris was further upset when 10 other eastern European nations signed a similar letter a few days later.
