It was only on Wednesday evening that the French government announced that from November 2nd, British fishing boats would no longer be allowed to moor in certain French ports. In addition, France will systematically check the safety of British boats in the future. Trucks driving from France to Great Britain or in the opposite direction should therefore also be checked more closely.
Britain criticized the announcement. Brexit Minister David Frost was disappointed. The measures are very likely not in line with international law and the Brexit Treaty.
Since the UK left the EU, London and Paris have been arguing about fishing licenses for French boats, especially around the Channel Islands of Jersey and Guernsey. In the Brexit agreement it was agreed that European fishermen should get fishing licenses for a zone of six to twelve nautical miles off the British coast. In order to obtain a license, a fisherman must prove that he was previously active in these waters.
