Finance Minister Michel Sapin emphasized, that the sanctions, imposed by the European Union against Russia, and Moscow’s response to them damaged the French agriculture.
As TASS informs, Michel Sapin stressed that during the recent years, political difficulties in relations between two states have damaged France’s agricultural sector. "Our farmers have sustained great losses," Sapin told following a plenary session of the Russian-French council on economic, financial, industrial and trade issues.
Due to Sapin, France would like to overcome these difficulties."We have to admit that we should not turn a blind eye to the problems that emerge, we need to prepare for bringing the relations to their normal level. We hope that political steps will be made in this direction," he added.
