Enter Russia's ban on imports of French meat, dairy, fruits and vegetables cost the French economy €400 mln, said the Chairman of the faction of Republicans in the lower house of the French Parliament Deputy Christian Jacob, the radio station Europe1.

"The damage from the Russian embargo can be assessed based on the customs data, in €400 million If early (before 2014 – ed.), France was the ninth largest supplier of agricultural products to Russia, she is now in 12th place," — said the Deputy.

"But the main problem is not the sanctions themselves. Lost opportunities, loss of confidence, and that's what French companies have to face (on the Russian market – ed.)", — said Christian Jacob.
