Solution to be responded by UK]

　　Since Brexit took effect in full, some French fishing boats have not obtained fishing licenses issued by the London authorities and the two administrative regions of Jersey and Guernsey in the Channel Islands, which has greatly dissatisfied Paris.

　　Macron said at a press conference after the conclusion of the Group of 20 (G20) Leadership Summit: "I have no intention of raising the conflict. We must take it seriously. I don't think there is any need to take retaliatory measures, so the report will not help our fishermen. "

　　He said: "We have handed over a document to the British Prime Minister on how to resolve the dispute. It is currently awaiting a response from the British side." Macron also warned that the first batch of retaliatory measures prepared by France will be implemented on November 2. .

　　France requires the United Kingdom to grant fishing permits for more French fishing vessels entering British waters, otherwise it will prohibit British fishing vessels from mooring in some ports and strengthen inspections of trucks carrying British goods entering the country.
