France “pushes” so that the Espiieux sector is exempt

The agreement would not be signed, and it would only be concluded “easy.” “Many uncertainties loom and deserve to be clarified,” support Annie Ginevard. More specifically, the spirits expects to escape the sanctions and France “pushes” to be exempt, submitted to Minister Laurent Saint-Martin.

Maintaining reciprocal health standards is also a red line for France.

Regarding the details of the agreement, the Cleaver could fall in a few days.

This does not prevent member states from exchanging if this agreement must be done,” the minister continued.
