Technically they are not ours, but neither are they theirs. The scallops, I believe, are in international waters ands therefore available for all. I think we should put a sub in the area and protects these international waters from the colonial ambitions of the French.

These are international waters, there fore the EU have no authority over who can and cannot fish there. Brexit won't fix this, but it might just escalate as a result of it.

it said 12 nautical miles, so could be just in or outside, the article isn't clear on that. Anyway exclusion zones for fishing are usually way more then 12 nautical miles

If only the UK representative on the EU Fisheries commission had done something.
