PARIS (Reuters) -The European Commission has approved a 5 billion euro ($5.6 billion) French scheme to facilitate the export of wines and spirits to the United States, it said on Thursday.

The Commission said the temporary scheme - approved under EU state aid rules - will be in place from May 8 to July 8, 2025, and will allow exporters of wines and spirits to export inventory to the U.S. before new tariffs take effect.
