If you read the quote:
"Symbol versus symbol," said Philippe Folliot, a French member of parliament whose Tarn constituency contains many roquefort producers. "Since the United States has decided to surtax one of the most ancient (cheese) appellations, I think that the French government, with the European Union, must think about a heavy specific tax on imports of Coca-Cola concentrates produced in the US."
Coca-Cola produces it's European products IN EUROPE. So there isn't any 'import' to levy the tariff on.
:-)
The finished product isn’t imported, but the syrup used to make it is...
