France, Russia and Germany reject 24 hour ultimatum

France, Russia and Germany today delivered a defiant response to the 24 hour
ultimatum on Iraq laid down yesterday by the US and UK.
The three countries are standing firm in their opposition to any resolution that would
authorise military action against Iraq while UN weapons inspectors continue to make
progress.

The French foreign minister, Dominique de Villepin, today told a French radio
station: "France cannot accept a resolution that sets an ultimatum and envisages an
automatic use of force."
