French fishermen to blockade port TONIGHT in protest at lost access to UK waters

FRENCH fishermen will launch a blockade of UK exports to the continent tonight in protest at lost access to our waters - sparking another major Brexit row.

A spokesman for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, said: “The UK maintains a consistent, evidence-based approach to licensing EU vessels using information supplied by the European Commission. British officials will monitor the protest closely and the impact it has on UK businesses trying to land seafood goods in Boulogne.During the protest the trawler men are expected to park their vessels across the entrance to the port, meaning UK ships can't get in.

It said: "There is overexploitation in the French zone, too many ships not being able to venture on the English side like they used to. "The fishermen of Hauts-de-France have shown extreme patience. But after being more than conciliatory, they are sounding the alarm bells to draw attention to an economic disaster in the industry."

The group added: "This accumulation of problems is suffocating and it condemns not only the fishing industry but also professionals in the air-fisheries sector in Hauts-de-France."BITTER BREXBoris Johnson defies EU legal threat over plan to keep food flowing to NISICK MAN IS EUROPEFisheries was one of the most hard-fought parts of last year's Brexit negotiations, with talks going right down to the wire.
