“A French MP is ending a hunger strike over a Japanese firm’s plans to leave his constituency after a deal was reached with the firm..

..he agreed to end the protest after Toyal told Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy it would not close its paint factory in Accous in the Pyrenees..

..It planned to open another factory 60km away and the MP feared the Accous site would close, despite the firm’s insistence that it would not.
