Disloyal competition, no. Europe that opens all its public-procurement markets when others do not open them at all--it's no." Thus Nicolas Sarkozy, the French president, in a markedly protectionist campaign speech earlier this month. Less than a fortnight later, the European Commission has snapped its heels. It has issued a proposal to let the EU close its public-procurement markets to firms from countries that exclude European competitors from their public contracts. Like Mr Sarkozy, Eurocrats insist that this is not protectionism. It is, rather, creating a lever to prise open closed markets. The proposal has been a long time coming; if the commission had to postpone every initiative because of an election, it could never do anything. Yet many still see this as a campaign gift to Mr Sarkozy. France's Socialists will not denounce it. But liberals, especially Britain and other north Europeans, are aghast. Everybody knows that Mr Sarkozy dislikes free trade. What dismays them is that the commission should abandon its role as a force for open markets.
