France is not accusing any country of involvement in an industrial espionage case at carmaker Renault, government spokesman Francois Baroin said on Tuesday.

"There is no official accusation by France and the French government toward any country today. An enquiry is under way," Baroin told Europe 1 radio, adding: "Renault, like others, is the victim of a war of economic intelligence."

A government source said last week that French intelligence services were investigating a possible Chinese connection with the Renault case. A Chinese foreign ministry spokesman said on Tuesday that China denied any connection.
