PARIS, March 14 (Reuters) - France's BNIC cognac lobby group said on Friday that the European Union (EU) should remove American whisky from its sanctions list, due to recriprocal trade wars between the United States and Europe which it said was hurting its industry.
The BNIC group said it had met French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou on Friday to address its concerns to him.
"What is currently happening to our industry and our region is catastrophic," it added in a statement.
