Rogoff is worried French fishermen will be robbed of their fish by their European neighbours in they can't access British waters.He argues that large trawlers, mostly Dutch-owned, are taking large quantities of fish from the Channel - in both the French and English waters.
'Despite what [these big trawlers] claim, they fish the same species as us, including mackeral,' Rogoff told 76 Actu. 'Our coastal fleets are robbed of part of their quota by these huge boats.
'As a result, it is the UK today that provides us with quotas and there is no guarantee that they will so again after Brexit.'
The practices of the Dutch shipowners are 'for the most part everywhere in the Channel, whether on the French or English side,' he added.
But he fears 'a concentration of these giants on the French side because the English will no longer let them go to their homes'.
