Economy: The Franco-British debate is growing rapidly, and British ships have been banned from French ports

Relations between the two countries deteriorated as British authorities did not renew fishing licenses for dozens of French fishing vessels that had previously operated in British territorial waters in recent days. The dispute is clearly the result of Brexit, and it hasn’t caused any problem in the past that some British or French ships have been fishing in the other country’s waters. According to the French, the British are risking their credibility, while in London they allege that renewal of licenses has been delayed because it is not clear how applicant ship owners will have to prove that they were actually fishing in British waters before Brexit.

The French are closing the ports, too It was put into perspectiveThat British goods arriving on the continent would be subject to stricter controls, and that terms of energy supply would also be tightened. In response, the British promised further countermeasures.

The controversy continues despite the fact that the activity of French fishermen in the UK is not so important, there are as many as forty vessels fishing in British territorial waters. According to the British, by the way, the reaction of the French government is very fierce because the next French presidential elections are approaching, which is why the current head of state, Emmanuel Macron, is trying to be tough. Macron and Johnson will hold an informal meeting at the G20 meeting on Sunday.
