The European Union (EU) can turn electricity supplies to the UK in the pressure lever to force the Boris Johnson government to provide access to British fishing waters in exchange for heat. About such intentions stated the Secretary of State for Europe at the Foreign Minister of France Cleman Bon, reports Bloomberg.
According to politics, the EU proposed to strengthen the pressure on the United Kingdom. Britain depends on two massive cables for which electricity from French nuclear power plants is transported through La Mans. Delivery interruptions will be a threat to the British power supply system, which is already experiencing difficulties due to the rapid increase in energy prices. “The Normand Islands and the United Kingdom depend on us in terms of energy supplies. They think that they can live by themselves and scold Europe. And since it does not work, they demonstrate superiority, and very aggressive,” said Bon and called Brexit “Populism in action “and” tragic failure. “
The problem of the rights to fishing after Brexita exacerbated the relationship between London and Paris. At the end of September, the United Kingdom provided only part of the licenses that the French authorities were calculated. The United Kingdom stated that fishermen could not demonstrate sufficient experience in British waters. The French side accused Britain in violation of the agreement, which was achieved in June 2021.
Any supply interruptions will further enhance the energy crisis in the UK. Due to the cost of energy carriers, several companies engaged in the supply of energy have already closed.
The Government promises to help the industry and provide consumers with electricity. The energy crisis has touched other areas: the food industry enterprises report that British buyers have already encountered prices for food prices and empty shelves in stores.
