French President Nicolas Sarkozy has said comments by an EU commissioner criticising Roma deportations from France were "outrageous".
EU Justice Commissioner Viviane Reding appeared to compare France's actions to persecutions in Nazi-occupied France.
Mr Sarkozy said it was "deeply shocking to see someone speak thus, make such simplifications which have hurt and shocked my fellow citizens".
France would continue to dismantle Roma camps, he said.
