The European Union could step up sanctions on Zimbabwe unless President Robert Mugabe adheres to the terms of a power-sharing accord, EU president France warned on Monday.
"If the agreement is not applied we shall resume our sanctions and reinforce them," French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner told a news conference after Mugabe angered the opposition by allocating important ministries to his Zanu-PF party at the weekend.
The EU has said the future of existing measures such as visa bans and asset freezes on top Zimbabwean officials will depend on how the power-sharing deal is implemented.
