French foreign minister Barrot welcomes China's decision on EU brandies

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said on Friday China's decision to close the investigation into European brandies, with a very wide range of exemptions, was "a positive step" for many players in the cognac and armagnac industry.

"However, several important points remain unresolved, in particular the exclusion of certain players from the scope of exemptions," Barrot said, adding he will discuss the matter when meeting his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi later on Friday in Paris.
