France has launched a dispute with the UK over fishing rights after its trawlers were banned from some British waters to protect vulnerable habitats.

Paris has asked the EU to determine if London’s move breaches the post Brexit Trade and Cooperation Agreement, which could lead to punitive measures against Britain.
