French fishing boats block the entrance to the port of Saint-Malo on November 26, 2021 as fishermen planned to block ferry traffic into two other Channel ports and the movement of goods through the rail tunnel between France and the UK in protest over post-Brexit fishing rights. Describing the action as a “warning shot”, French national fisheries committee (CNPMEM) chairman said ferry traffic would be blocked at the ports of Saint-Malo, Ouistreham and Calais as well as freight traffic into the Channel Tunnel for several hours. The months-long dispute between Britain and France over the number of licences for UK waters handed to French vessels remains unresolved and has threatened to turn into a full-scale trade war.
