Great Britain decided to leave the patrol ships of his navy near Jersey Island, which is located in the strait of La Mans. This was stated in the Office of the British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, reports Reuters.
The corresponding decision was announced by the head of government during a conversation with the authorities of the island. “The Prime Minister expressed unconditional support for Jersey and confirmed that the two guard ship of the Royal Naval Forces will remain in the area and follow the situation as a precautionary measure,” the message says.
Earlier on May 6, France sent two marine patrol boats in the water at the island against the background of the conflict with changing the catch conditions after Brexit, Reuters notes. In addition, the port of Jersey entered a whole flotilla of small vessels, which were outraged by the changes and demanded a meeting with local authorities.
In the afternoon, it became known that the United Kingdom sent two patrols to Jersey after the threats of France to turn off the power supply in this possession in protest.
Before that, France’s power wanted to drive out British banks as an answer to the restrictions imposed by London in relation to the catch of fish in their waters. Paris suspects Great Britain in non-compliance with its own obligations under the Brexit. They concern the provision of free access to the British territorial water to fishing vessels from EU countries.
