Many fishermen are still disillusioned by the lack of action by Mr Macron in pushing London for more licences despite the UK issuing a number of licences to French vessels. CRPMEM, the regional association of sea fishing in France, said the outcome exasperates the fishermen of northern France who feel that they are being manipulated by the British government and abandoned by the European Commission. French fishermen rejected Britain's approval of more fishing licences as insufficient and promised new protests to disrupt traffic in Channel ports. These measures follow numerous threats by Mr Macron to sanction the UK, tariff British goods and cut electricity supplies to Britain - actions that French fishermen believe have not been acted upon. The new blockades in northern France would disrupt trade in both directions, preventing ships and lorries from delivering goods to British ports in the next couple of weeks. Oliver Lepretre, head representative of the northern France fisheries committee, warned British shoppers could face Christmas shortages unless the row is resolved. He said skippers had been betrayed by the British Government and abandoned by European officials. He said that fishermen are more united than ever, and they do not intend to see themselves being taken advantage of in the face of such bad faith. The European Commission and the French government are pleased with the result of an intensive fortnight of negotiations after the UK and Channel Islands agreed to issue 83 more operating licences before the EU deadline. Ella Kelian, who writes the blog Crazy Word, supported the French Fishermen after taking to Twitter to condemn Mr Macron. Speaking of numerous perceived failures by the President, Twitter user Jean Bambois said: Macron anticipates the defeat of the French fishermen, the Americans, the Russians, the Afghans, the Algerians, and so on and so on. He stated that he has never won a diplomatic victory and that some will still vote for him. A French official from the Vendee region in France said that Macron has let the fishing industry down and that Emmanuel Macron gives in to the British and lets the French fishermen go. He adds that there was an economic fault and a diplomatic failure. Our country is humiliated again. French fishermen are planning a new series of efforts to disrupt the Channel and cause the Elysee Palace to take notice. China banking on global financial crisis fears that Beijing 'letting E.

Tory rebel rebellion inspires PM backlash OPINION France believes it is entitled to more than 80 more UK licences and a group representing fishermen in the key port of Boulogne-sur- Mer and others along the northern coast said late Saturday they would launch protests. Protests should be expected from the fishermen to target British imports, according to the CRPMEM. The protests would be in line with the blockades of ports in Brittany, Normandy and the north of France that took place on November 26. Fishing boats briefly blocked ferries and other boats in Calais, Saint-Malo and Ouistreham while vehicles were sent to disrupt traffic seeking to use the Channel Tunnel rail link.
