France: UK granted 93% of solicited fishing permits
French State Secretary for European Affairs Clement Beaune stated on Monday that Paris has so far managed to obtain 93% of Britain’s licenses for its fishermen and is working to secure the remaining ones.
“No fisherman will be left behind,” he told CNews TV. “By Wednesday, we will have a meeting with the fishermen to see how to secure the remaining licenses.”
Beaune’s remarks come after the United Kingdom issued additional licenses for fishing vessels from the European Union, providing a temporary resolution to the post-Brexit issue.
