France is ready to back the renewal of Carlos Ghosn as chief executive officer of carmaker Renault SA -- but with some strings attached.
The government wants Ghosn to prepare a road map by June on how to better integrate an alliance with longtime partner Nissan Motor Co. as well as coming up with a progressive succession plan, said an economy ministry official, who asked not to be identified in line with policy. France holds a 15 percent stake in Renault.
