A British fishing vessel was impounded by French authorities in the English Channel for allegedly fishing without a license in French waters. The incident occurred on Thursday night, with the vessel now held in Boulogne while French authorities consider prosecution. The UK Foreign Office is providing support to the British national involved. The seizure follows recent criticism of a UK-EU deal granting EU fishing vessels access to UK waters for another 12 years. The Conservatives have accused France of double standards, citing their inaction on migrant crossings.
