PARIS (Reuters) - The French government plans to discuss in two or three weeks time with all involved parties alternative scenarios for a French plant that tyre maker Bridgestone is considering closing, Junior Economy Minister Agnes Pannier-Runacher said on Monday.

The French government is looking into options to try to save jobs and prevent the closure of the Bethune tyre plant in northern France that Japan's Bridgestone (T:5108) plans to shut.
