Irish drinks producers are facing a tariff.
Concern is developing about the future for Irish distillers who export to the US.
Irish Whiskey and drinks producers face a 15% tariff after the EU and US released a statement on their trade deal.
The sector wants a return to zero-to-zero to ease pressure on firms.
It follows yesterday's announcement that pharmaceutical exports will be under a 15% tariff - something Midlands MEP Barry Cowen is labelling as a success.
The Fianna Fail rep says the EU needs to turn its attention to the drinks industry:
