UK-France post-Brexit row
A dispute worsening between France and the UK over post-Brexit fishing rights. The UK, angry over France’s seizure of a British trawler in French waters, says it reserves the right to respond in a proportionate way. Environment Secretary George Eustice says it’s always possible for Britain to increase its required measures on French vessels. On Wednesday, France detained one British fishing boat and issued warning to another in its waters. Paris said the detained boat lacked proper license, and its captain will face trial next August. Paris did so in retaliation for London denying fishing license to EU boats including the French ones operating in British waters. Paris has threatened more retaliatory measures starting from next week, if talks don’t progress. Britain has called the threats unjustified and summoned the French ambassador for explanations.
