On Sunday, the UK’s Border Force said it was dealing with “ongoing small boat incidents” off the coast of Kent in southern England, 33-km across the Channel from France. He will “urgently explore tougher action in France”, a statement from the interior ministry said on Sunday, referring to plans to intercept boats at sea and try to return them.
UK and French officials are set to hold talks next week and Britain’s Sunday Telegraph newspaper said France was set to ask Britain to pay 30 million pounds to bolster its policing of the maritime border in the Channel.“There will be discussions this week to continue the strengthening of bilateral cooperation in the fight against illegal crossings of the English Channel,” the spokesman said.
