France steps back in its row with the UK over post-Brexit fishing rights and rules out imposing planned sanctions, as both sides sit down for further negotiations
France stepped back on Monday in its row with the UK over post-Brexit fishing rights and ruled out imposing planned sanctions from midnight as Britain has signaled moving constructively on the fishing licenses.
French Junior Minister for European Affairs Clement Beaune also confirmed the same on Twitter, saying that France had received “the first signals from the British authorities to speed up trade; a response to the latest proposals from the French authorities is expected by Wednesday.” “In order to allow the dialogue thus opened to continue, the measures announced and prepared by France will not be applied before this meeting and the examination of the new British responses relating to fishing licenses,” he said in a tweet.
According to French officials, the UK has rejected over 40 percent of the applications of its fishers, preventing them from fishing in British waters.
