France had previously announced that they would restrict cross-Channel trade starting from 2300 GMT on Monday, potentially escalating a dispute over fish into a broader trade conflict between two major European economies. However, President Macron stated that the French plan was temporarily on hold as discussions had resumed following a meeting with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson at the United Nations climate conference in Glasgow. Macron mentioned that talks were ongoing based on a proposal he had made to Johnson and that the British were expected to provide additional proposals the following day. Text = Everything that needs to be addressed will be taken care of. We will assess the situation tomorrow at the end of the day to determine if there have been any significant changes," he stated. "I hope that we can find solutions to all of these problems." European Affairs Minister Clement Beaune stated on Twitter that trade sanctions would not be implemented until after a meeting with British Brexit minister David Frost in Paris on Thursday. The decision was welcomed by Britain. A UK government spokesperson stated that they appreciate France's acknowledgment of the need for thorough discussions to address the various issues in the UK/EU relationship. The spokesperson also mentioned that Frost has accepted Beaune's invitation. Earlier in the day, Britain had given France a 48-hour deadline to retract the threat of sanctions or face legal consequences under the Brexit trade agreement. The potential measures from France, such as increased border checks and banning British vessels from certain ports, could disrupt cross-Channel trade. British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss criticized France for making unreasonable threats towards the Channel Islands and the fishing industry, stating that they must withdraw these threats or face action under the trade agreement with the EU. The dispute over access to fishing areas in the Channel has been ongoing between Britain and France for many years. The fishing issue was a prominent concern during the negotiations for Britain's departure from the European Union. This was not due to its economic impact, which is minimal, but rather because of its political significance. Reclaiming control over fishing grounds was a key argument for Brexit, as presented by Johnson to British voters. Macron, on the other hand, is facing re-election next year and needs to demonstrate support for French trawler crews, a vocal political group. A recent dispute arose in September when Paris accused London of not granting enough post-Brexit licences to French boats to fish in the 6-12 nautical mile zone near UK shores. Britain argues that it is only granting licences to vessels with evidence of previous fishing in its waters, a demand from British fishermen concerned about the potential threat to their profits from French boats. French officials took control of a British scallop dredger, the Cornelis Gert Jan, in waters near Le Havre last Wednesday, causing frustration in London. On Monday, tensions were expected to increase as the French deadline approached, resulting in fishing crews from both countries avoiding each other's waters, as reported by marine traffic tracking data and a representative from the French fishing industry.
