PARIS, May 11 (Reuters) - The French government could
use tax measures to claw back profits from the food industry if
it does not accept talks on high prices, Finance Minister Bruno
Le Maire said on Thursday.
"If ever the food industry does not return to negotiations
... we will use all measures at out disposal, including taxes,
to recover profits unfairly made on the back of consumers," Le
Maire told journalists.
