Scallops
Is a war going to break out between the UK and France over scallops? Sure seems like one could be imminent if the Fishermen can't get it together over WHO gets to fish or harvest the scallops!

Re: Scallops
As I understand it, members of the EU can fish for scallops in that area including the French themselves, but they have decided to wait until October for the scallop beds to re-generate. That is their governments choice - the EU regulations therefore allow the Brits to fish.
As usual the French do as they please - it was ever the same.

Re: Scallops
LLL the British fishing boats were fishing legally outside the French 12 mile limit. The French are not allowed to fish for scallops until October and got very angry to see the British boats fishing. Then the hot headed French skippers tried to foul the small boats propellers and foul their nets. It was very unpleasant and dangerous but that is how the French tend to behave.

Re: Scallops
Exactly! we play by the rules and the rest of the EU ignore them when it suits them, hence one reason why we are leaving.As usual the French do as they please - it was ever the same.

Re: Scallops
The TV News here is broadcasting boats ramming boats and lots of loud yelling and calling and looks to be a real hullabaloo going on with our news predicting a war is going start over scallops.

They can start what they like - but as usual there is very little chance of them finishing anything.
