France and Germany pressed the European Union today to speed up plans designed to crack down on the funding of terrorist groups.

Paris -- left reeling by two major terror attacks last year and Berlin want the plans implemented by June, according to a source at talks between the two governments in the French capital.

"We have to accelerate the process," said French Finance Minister Michel Sapin at a press conference with his German counterpart Wolfgang Schaeuble. 

The call came a week after the European Commission unveiled plans to choke off financing of terrorist groups, with France pushing hard for a crackdown after attacks last January and November.
