How far will the standoff between London and the French government over fishing licenses go? The United Kingdom summoned the Ambassador of France this Friday, October 29. The journalist Maëlys September, live from London, provides more information.
Paris and London have still not reached an agreement on the issue of fishing licenses allocated to French sailors in order to be able to fish in Jersey waters. French governments and British remain in their position. UK summoned French Ambassador Catherine Colonna this Friday, October 29. “Tense interview in perspective because the British expect her to explain the retaliatory measures announced by France, which they consider disappointing and disproportionate”, relates the journalist Maëlys September, live from London in the 12/13 of France 3.
“This kind of summons by the British is rare. To give you an idea, in 2019, the Chinese ambassador was summoned for torture charges, that of Russia for poisoning cases “, recalls the journalist from France Télévisions. “For the moment, France has not reacted to the summons of its representative. It is not known if Catherine Colonna will try to calm things down or if she will remain firm on the French positions, but London places a lot of hope in this confrontation. It is still unknown whether the British will be willing to make concessions on the allocation of licenses “, concludes Maëlys September.
