In December, French President Nicolas Sarkozy outlined a €26 billion ($34 bilion), two-year package of investments and aid to ailing industries. That's about 1.3% of GDP. The European Commission, which normally frowns on deficits, has recommended stimulus spending of about 1.5% of GDP throughout the region.
