France's European Affairs Minister Clement Bonn told Europe 1 radio today, Tuesday, that European countries will announce within days measures to pressure London to abide by the Brexit agreements. The European Union concluded with the bloc when Britain left the European Union.
He did not mention the type of those measures, but indicated in an interview with the radio station that Britain depends on the energy supplies it receives from the continent of Europe, according to Al Arabiya.net .
Bonne said France was indignant at Britain's decision to deny fishing permits to dozens of French ships.
He continued: Enough already, we have an agreement negotiated by France and Michel Barnier, and it must be implemented 100%. Not implemented, referring to the former EU's chief Brexit negotiator, who is French.
He added, in the next few days I spoke with my European counterparts about this, and we will take action at the European or national level to put pressure on the United Kingdom.
We defend our interests, Bohn said. We do it well and diplomatically, but when that doesn't work, we take action.
For example, we can imagine, since we are talking about energy, that the United Kingdom depends on our energy supplies, that it thinks it can live on its own, And hit Europe.
