After meeting with EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, French Senate President Gerard Larcher said in a statement: "On fishing, I recalled our solidarity with fishermen." Our country needs the support of the European Commission to get the licences requested from the British. He stressed the need to strengthen our external borders and to reach an ambitious asylum and migration pact in order to make return to the countries of origin effective, as well as the need for more cooperation in dealing with the ongoing migrant crisis. The Senate leader praised the EU's joint effort to tackle the ongoing COVID 19 epidemic, in particular as the new Omicron variant begins to emerge across the continent and wider arena. The main mandate of the meeting was for the French to reach out to the EU and rally support against the British. As the EU 2022 approaches, I was pleased to meet with vonderleyen in Brussels along with sophieprimas and RAPINJF. The meeting allowed us to address several important issues for France and Europe. In the run-up to the French presidency of the EU, Ms Von der Leyen said he was glad to meet the President of the Senate Gerard Larcher. She said that they looked at the current issues. She said that the French Parliament will contribute to making this Presidency a success, and that she supports the upcoming French Presidency of the bloc. France is trying to punish Britain for its anger at not being able to issue fishing licences for French trawlers. After leaving, London has claimed that any foreign vessel wishing to fish in British waters must be able to prove it had done so prior to the Withdrawal Agreement. France claims that London has not issued the correct amount of permits.
President Emmanuel Macron and his ministers have pledged to punish Britain over the issue.
Measures include blocking French ports to British vessels, adding additional tariffs on UK products, performing customs checks at French ports of entry, and threatening to cut off electricity supplies to Jersey and the rest of the UK. France has so far demonstrated and vented its frustration as a lone actor against the UK. After the so-called AUKUS deal, attempts by Mr Macron to block an EU-Australia trade deal were met with a sour response from the Dutch.
Reports suggested the EU would have lost 35 billion dollars if it had done so. The EU hasn't back the French when it comes to fishing wars.
