‘A danger to the world!’ EU blasted over brazen and ‘reckless’ raid on UK – Daily Express

Boris Johnson has been told by furious Britons to rip up post-Brexit fishing licences to France following the latest huge ultimatum from across the English Channel.

French Europe minister Clement Beaune has urged the European Union to take retaliatory measures against the UK if the row over granting licenses to its fishermen cannot be resolved by next Friday.

The European Commission has also set that deadline for the dispute to be settled as it ramps up the pressure on Britain during the negotiations.

Mr Beaune said in a video message on Saturday: "We had good news with Annick Girardin, the Minister for the Sea, this week, since a little more than 40 licenses have been confirmed by the island of Guernsey.

"And our fight continues, because we still need additional licenses, in the Channel Islands and in the Hauts-de-France.

"We will continue this discussion via the European Commission, with a very important meeting: December 10.

"As we have said, and the European Commission has said too, on December 10 we will see if the dialogue bears fruit and continues to issue licenses, finally, in additional numbers.

"Or if we are stuck, in which case we will have a European reaction, to move on to another phase, because the dialogue will not have borne fruit."
