Latest talks focusing on fishing license evidence as Calais ports’ head warns of ‘disaster’ if Paris goes through with threats
Last-ditch talks have been launched to find an agreement between the UK and France in the dispute over fishing licences, as the head of the ports of Calais and Boulogne spoke of a disaster if Paris goes through on its threats to clog up trade.
Jean-Marc Puissesseau said he had already received instructions to stop British fishers from unloading in Boulogne from Tuesday while the border authorities at Calais would enforce tougher controls on goods laden trucks.
