France seeks EU cash as cushion for farmers

France is seeking additional cash from the European federation as compensation for signing a world trade deal and to cushion French farmers from GATT repercussions. The deal France signed will allow Europe to export an additional eight million tons of wheat to the US for the next six years. Germany, Britain, Denmark and the Netherlands are against such an act since it upsets the EC budget and other nations are also seeking compensation for their special interests that are affected by GATT.
