French fishermen say they are tired of the rhetoric from the President and want him to drop the war of words with the UK. They want to have a political dialogue to fix their post-Brexit licence issues rather than the veiled threats from the lys e palace.
Macron has warned that he is willing to cause havoc with Britain's supply chains by slowing down customs checks at ports unless more licences are granted for access to UK waters. He also demanded that the EU launch legal proceedings against the UK for failing to approve enough applications. Artus Galiay, the representative for the Hauts-de- France region in the UK, told Express.co.uk that many of the fisheries impacted by Brexit. It was unfortunate that Mr Macron had resorted to demanding such action. He told Express.co. The French government has asked the EU to take specific action against the UK to make sure the licences are provided.
I think it is unfortunate that all that needs to be solved through political dialogue between France and the UK. The Frenchman said that the upcoming presidential election next year is likely to have played a role in the negotiating strategy taken by Mr Macron. He said that fishermen in the region were fed up with being used by politicians for political gain. He said that people in the area are used to politicians coming and making big promises. This is not just a political issue for them, it's about their livelihoods and being able to live just as they have for years or even decades. Liz Truss is tough! Despite quitting his role as a Brexit leader, Emmanuel Macron HATES Britain nine times and French leader let rip INSIGHT Mr Galiay added: "What local people say is that they are still short of 65 licences. There is good progress on that front but it is still not fully solved in terms of the overall issue. It's unfortunate that these kind of means are used by the French government to achieve that end because there are so many join issues between the UK and France. We need to work together on tackling migration and human trafficking after the horrific incident a few weeks ago when 27 migrants died trying to cross the Channel because of the lack of a political dialogue on that front.
