What's outrageous? A french minister threatening to cut power to the island, french trawlermen blocking the landing of fish caught by british fishermen and to blockade the island of Jersey or two fisheries protection boats being dispatched to make sure the island's ports remain open?
The cause? Asking seventeen (17!) french fishing vessels for evidence they've fished those fisheries in the last 5 years.
I don't think I'm finding outrage in the same thing as you are.
- olivierduval 5y agoUK signed a deal for the Brexit. Now UK doesn't want to honor its part of the deal, aka give european (and french) fishermen the authorization required by the deal... Moreover, Jersey limited the parts of the fishing zone to be less than what the Brexit deal was negociated... So... how do you deal with a country that signed a treaty 5 month ago and doesn't want to respect it ???? Jersey is just "another brick in the wall"
- billyruffian 5y agoYou use the dispute mechanism built into the treaty. You don't blockade an island economy.
