Although the demonstration was halted by Thursday afternoon and the fishing boats returned to France, the French navy also sent two of its ships to monitor the situation.
And Jersey’s head of government, Chief Minister, Senator John Le Fondre, said the ‘very good discussion’ with representatives from the protesters had highlighted many issues that could be ‘very easily resolved’.
Earlier this week, French maritime minister Annick Girardin said Paris would cut off electricity to Jersey – which gets 95 per cent of its power supply from France – if the fishing licence dispute was not resolved.

Last week John Tollow, from Old Portsmouth, also got in touch to say he felt he had been unfairly ticketed, but as he felt pressured by the threatening letter, he coughed up – only to later regret giving in to the firm’s demands.
John, 76, said: ‘I don’t think they should be allowed to get away with it. I don’t know whether it was my fault or the machine but I would like to think that I can operate a parking machine.
‘I don’t want my money back, I wanted to offer my support to Joanne as she had a very valid argument. NCP has said that its machines work perfectly well but it’s clear from the level of correspondence in The News that it isn’t true.’
