Talks on creating a Transatlantic free trade area between the EU and the US can be disrupted. On Tuesday, may 3, the radio station Europe 1 said the Secretary of state for foreign trade of France Matthias Fekl.
According to him, “such a scenario today, most likely because of the position of the United States.” Europe and the United States are not in the same position, he explained. “Europe offers a lot, but gets very little in return. And that’s unacceptable,” said Fekl.
He also said on air that “Paris insists that the talks were suspended”.
In its current form France can’t agree on the document, said the Secretary of state and listed the conditions under which a common language with Washington can be found”. “We want our small and medium businesses had access to the American market. We also want to protect our agriculture, our producers,” — said FeCl.

From the published documents, in particular, was that the US threatened the EU significantly complicate the export of cars, if the EU does not revise its tariffs on us exports of agriproduct. In addition, according to the dossier, the US is seeking the lifting of the ban in the EU on the import of genetically modified food.
