A major dispute between Britain and France over fishing near the island of Jersey, the United Kingdom yesterday sent two escort ships of the Royal Navy towards the main port of Jersey, amid a dispute over fishing rights with France. Yesterday, the ship "HMS Severn" sailed towards the waters off Port St. Helier in Jersey and was followed by the destroyer "HMS Tamar". British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that "any blockade would be totally unjustified" with | More than 100 French fishing boats are ready to set sail for the island on Thursday, according to the BBC. This comes after a threat from France to cut off electricity to Jersey due to the new rules for French fishing boats in the post-Brexit period. The Prime Minister said that sending the sea vessels "is a precautionary measure. France has confirmed that the conditions imposed by London for the issuance of licenses for fishing in the Channel Islands, especially the island of Jersey."
France had confirmed that the conditions imposed by London to issue fishing licenses in the Channel Islands, especially the island of Jersey, were "null and void." She added: “We consider that if new demands to divide marine areas or fishing equipment are included in the licenses, at a time when the European Commission has not been notified of the matter, they are null and void, according to the AFP. France affirmed its adherence to "strict respect for the" fishing agreement "negotiated within the framework of Brexit." If Britain wants to introduce new provisions, it must inform the European Commission that it has decided to inform us of this, which allows us to negotiate after that. " Then we discovered that the new technical measures do not apply to our fishermen.
