The Normandy region of France has cut ties with Jersey in a row over new fishing licenses.
French officials say there are more restrictions placed on the licenses than was ever agreed with Jersey's External Relation's Minister, Senator Ian Gorst.
They are calling on the national government to refer the case to the European Commission.
At no time, during the many exchanges we had with Ian Gorst, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Jersey, was there any question of additional criteria subject to the issuance of licenses. We ask the French government to intervene with the European Commission so that the terms provided for in the trade and cooperation agreement are respected and applied.'
