The owner of the detained vessel said it was being used as a 'pawn in an ongoing dispute' between the two countries

"We are looking to the UK government to defend the rights of the UK fishing fleet and ensure that the fishing rights provided under the Brexit Fishing agreement are fully respected by the EU.Home Secretary Priti Patel told Sky:"It is disappointing and we as a country have fulfilled all of our obligations under the TCA. But at the same time, across government discussions will continue - both at commission level but also with counterparts within the French administration.

He said:"They were on the list that was provided by the MMO to the European Union. The European Union, therefore, did grant a license. We are seeing some reports that they were subsequently withdrawn from the list. It's unclear why that might have been at the moment."The government has said since 31 December 1,673 EU vessels have been licensed for fishing - 98% of those who applied for access - of which 736 were French.

The UK government said the French response could breach international law, calling the threats"disappointing and disproportionate". "The second did not have a licence to fish in our waters: diverted to the quay and handed over to the judicial authority."

France is becoming a nuisance to the world. It’s failure to understand why people don’t want to be associated with them is because of its bullying attitude. That doesn’t work. We are no more in colonial era.

Funny the cant catch a boats with illegals crossing the Channel?

I get the impression that Sky doesn’t like the UK very much.

Why are sky news trying to stir up a conflict all the time.

Considering the subject, shouldn't that be 'used as a prawn'?
