In an attack on the previous Socialist administration Jean-Pierre Raffarin said France's 35-hour working week had "killed" economic growth.
Laws implementing the shorter working week was introduced in 1999 as a bid to curb unemployment before Mr Raffarin's centre right party came to power.
He has now vowed to allocate 2005 budget funding to lure firms to France.
"The 35 hours have killed growth since 2000," Mr Raffarin said.
"Our next budget will aim to relocalise jobs to our country. The fight against delocalisation will be one of my very top priorities in the 2005 budget."
