Arrested British fishing trawler leaves Le Havre

The British fishing trawler arrested in the Anglo-French fisheries dispute has left the port of Le Havre. The “Cornelis Gert Jan” ran out on Wednesday evening, as an AFP reporter reported. According to the captain’s lawyer, a court in Rouen had previously ruled that the ship could “leave” Le Havre immediately without paying a bail. In the coming days, important talks are planned in Paris and Brussels to settle the fisheries dispute.

The captain faces a fine of 75,000 euros
