Stop fishing in the UK! Banned from fishing the French increased pressure to license 169 of their fishing vessels.
A HUGE Brexit controversy has erupted, with Emmanuel Macron's closest aide saying "we have run out of patience" as France vows to "continue to put pressure" on the UK over granting permits for its waters.
France's Ministry of the Sea has requested permission for its 169 fishermen to access the waters around Jersey. But France has been angered by what it claims is an extremely slow response from the UK to licensing since Brexit. Despite the agreement between the UK and the EU, which took effect on January 1, European fishermen's access to British waters remains a topic of heightened tension.
British authorities are now asking fishermen to prove their activity in these waters but for some smaller vessels, especially those without satellite tracking systems, the collection of documents support more difficult.
French fishing boats have only five days left to stop fishing in Jersey, so they're increasing pressure to get permits to continue fishing.
European Affairs Secretary of State Clément Beaune launched a furious attack, condemning an outraged "anti-game" action on the part of the UK.
He raged during a congressional committee hearing: “There is a very bad game, an anti-game, to put it that way, from England.
"We've been patient. We've got results in some catch and permit areas, but we're far from the target."
"We've run out of patience," Mr Beaune warned. He condemned the UK for being slow to license their fishing boats when they were applying and pressured to re-license 169 fishing vessels.
The French are furious and over-demanding about fishing in UK waters.
Stephanie Yon-Courtin wrote on Twitter: “Thank you @CBeune for raising the bar for the fishing industry in Normandy and beyond.
"Together we keep the pressure on the UK to honor the Brexit deal today and tomorrow.
Senator Jean-Francois Rapin, who is also the President of the European Affairs Commission, also tweeted: "What a failure! Our fishermen continue to suffer!
Secretary Annick Girardin's entourage has sent a warning to the UK if it does not issue the necessary permits to fishermen by September 30.
The Ministry of Seas "will ask the European Union to activate the restrictive measures" set out in the agreement, which the minister's team warned could lead to new customs duties or retaliatory measures in markets. no fishing.
Another 86 permit applications are pending confirmation for areas between 6 and 12 nautical miles off the UK coast.
The unruly French they got mad and demanded to plunder the fish in English waters, in this situation what should the British do, should we easily accept their excessive demands? Or is there a better measure?
