PM Johnson: UK could trigger EU dispute over French fish row

WASHINGTON, 31 October 2021, (TON): France is incensed that Britain and the Channel Islands of Jersey and Guernsey have not issued some French boats licences to fish in their waters post-Brexit

Britain said that it has not ruled out invoking a Brexit dispute tool with the EU for the first time, after France threatened trade reprisals in a row over fishing rights.

Boris Johnson told media "no of course not, I don't rule that out.”

He added "but what I think everybody wants to see is cooperation between the European allies and Emmanuel Macron,”

He said "and I share a common perspective (with them) which is that climate change is a disaster for humanity and that we have the tools to tackle it.”
