Paris, October 28
A British fishing boat has been handed over to French authorities, after France issued a verbal warning to that boat and another British boat fishing near the port at Le Havre, French Maritime Minister Annick Girardin said in a statement on Twitter on Thursday, as tension simmers between the neighbours over post-Brexit arrangements.
France says its fishermen lack half the licences needed to fish in British waters, which Paris says they are owed after Britain left the European Union.
On Wednesday, France issued a list of sanctions that could take effect from Nov. 2 unless there is sufficient progress in the fishing row with Britain, saying it was working on a second round that could affect power supplies to its neighbour.
France could step up border and sanitary checks on goods from Britain, deny its fishing boats access to designated ports, and stiffen checks on trucks travelling between the two countries, the French maritime and European affairs ministries said in a joint statement. Reuters
