After meeting Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Emmanuel Macron assured that the ball was in the court of the British. The situation is therefore not resolved for the time being. Martin Vanlaton, journalist France Televisions, takes stock.

For French fishermen, the situation becomes long and tiring. “Their state of mind oscillates between exasperation and annoyance at the tug-of-war which is being played out”, explains Martin Vanlaton, journalist France Televisions from Boulogne-sur-Mer, in Pas-de-Calais. “According to them, the discussions have been going on for too long and have already impacted their work. A fisherman […] estimates that its turnover has fallen by around 50% “, he adds

For many French fishermen without a license to fish in British waters, turnover is sinking. “In Hauts-de-France, out of the 80 fishing license applications filed, only 35 were issued by the United Kingdom”, announces Martin Vanlaton. The fishermen hope that Emmanuel Macron will not give in, while possible sanctions could be applied by France on Tuesday, November 2.
