French Economy Minister Arnaud Montebourg waves as he arrives at the National Assembly for a conference on the selling of French engineering company Alstom, in Paris, Wednesday, April 30, 2014. Alstom says it will decide by the end of May whether to accept a 12.35 billion euro ($17 billion) offer from General Electric Co. for its energy business.

Officials had pressed for more time to allow rival Siemens, based in Germany, to make an offer. (AP Photo/Jacques Brinon)
