PARIS, Oct 14 (Reuters) - European Central Bank Governing Council Member Christian Noyer said on Thursday there was the need for an orderly evolution in global exchange rates and fundamental structural adjustments.

"There must be an orderly evolution in exchange rates and some fundamental structural corrections," Noyer, the governor of the Bank of France, told RTL radio.

Noyer said he would not use the phrase "currency war" evoked by IMF Managing Director Dominique Strauss Kahn, and noted it was natural that developing economies with higher growth rates should attract strong capital flows.

But he said there was a need for structural economic adjustments, such as higher savings in the United States and higher consumption in China. (Editing by Tomasz Janowski)
