    France conditions EU/US free trade talks demanding exclusion of movies and digital media

    PM Ayrault told parliament: ”France will go as far as using its political veto. This is about our identity, it's our struggle”

    France threatened to block the start of free trade talks between the European Union and the United States if movies and digital media are not kept out the negotiations. Two days before EU countries are supposed to give the go-ahead for negotiations France said it would veto the talks unless the sector - that it sees as crucial to its cultural identity and under threat from Hollywood - is excluded.
