In the current problem of fishing between France and England, the sympathies and interests of Ireland are largely linked to those of France.Of course, this does not mean that we want to engage in the subtleties of endangered problems or that two friends are happy to fight.We naturally welcome the latest indications that the two parties could withdraw from the resumption of the battle of Waterloo.Ireland hopes that thanks to common sense and compromise, thanks to the obligations contained in international law and its full respect, the conflict will be resolved quickly and harmoniously.
However, there is no doubt that we have more to do with which side of the current disagreement.There are four main reasons for this.
First, Ireland and France are members of the European Union, which our British friends have unfortunately chose to leave.EU membership encompasses mutual commitment and natural solidarity in international relations.
Some British politicians and commentators seem to have misinterpreted the character of EU members in recent years.They say that with the individual member states of Great Britain in the EU, bilateral or NATO type, France or Finland can develop a relationship with Great Britain, which separates in a way from its adhesion toEU.You can wear a hat when you handle Brussels and another when you handle London.
READType Différent de Mini frigo de chambreThe United Kingdom must understand that the only relationship that can exist with Ireland on any question is as a member of the European Union.
Any real effort of Great Britain to deepen its relations with the individual member states must be greeted and exchanged.This is particularly true in Ireland given our geographic proximity, our complex mutual history, the deep friendship between our peoples and our shared responsibility for peace on this island.
The United Kingdom must understand, however, that the only relationship that can exist with Ireland on any question is as a member of the European Union.The world should look at Ireland through the European prism, including the current dispute on fishing.The United Kingdom has shared this point of view for more than half a century.The European Union is part of Ireland and France and is not an organization that interferes from time to time with our interests.
The second reason for our relationship with France during this event was the strong support we received from our other EU partners throughout the Brexit process.The EU has given itself the priority to tackle the deep implications of Brexit for the peace process.Although these impacts were rejected by strict Brexists, he did it from the start, Boris Johnson suggesting that managing the extreme sensitivities of the Irish border returned to manage the traffic jams of London.The EU continued its constructive approach, by recently modifying its own rules significantly and by introducing precise flexibility in the application of the Northern Ireland Protocol.
London will eventually understand that this kind of behavior is negative and helps bring the EU member states closer.
Although Lord Frost moved away from the Belfast agreement, he threatens to unilaterally undermine the subtleties of the self -proclaimed international agreement to defend the treaty.In this country, we know who are our friends who try both to fight the effects of Brexit on Northern Ireland, to maximize the advantages for Northern Ireland thanks to the Brexit protocol and to minimize the negative impacts.France is one of those friends.
A third factor in the case which further strengthens the close ties between EU member states, including France and Ireland, is the efforts of the United Kingdom to undermine the unit of the.More recently, Frost intervened with Poland on ethics by trying to create a false link between the current dispute of Poland with the European Court and his own attempt to withdraw the role of the CJCE of the agreement he negotiated. London will eventually understand that this kind of behavior is negative and helps bring the EU member states closer.
Finally, some of the United Kingdom's arguments concerning the dispute on fishing are particularly hollow here.Since the verbal provocations of Frost against the EU and its approach to rejection of the implementation of binding agreements have long been familiar, one cannot help being surprised to see the lack of self -awareness that allows theBritish Environment Secretary George Eustace.He criticized what he described as a possible violation of French rhetoric and international law.
The speeches pronounced on all sides must be rejected.The fishing industry must be compromised.As Wellington commented by examining the Waterloo massacre, the worst thing after a great failure is a great success.
