Jersey's government says France has broken the terms of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement after some French ports were officially closed to the island's fishermen.
Jersey's External Relations Minister Senator Ian Gorst says they immediately informed the European Commission once they learned of the decision.
Granville, Barneville-Carteret and Dielette ports have officially been closed to Jersey fishermen, the island's government confirmed.
We regret this action and don’t believe it is compliant with the terms of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement. For that reason we will refer the notice of this decision immediately to the European Commission.
