Brexit Party MEP loses it as EU Commissioner refuses to say EU will stop Dutch 'stealing UK fish'

Brexit Party MEP Rupert Lowe clashed with European Commissioner Vera Jourova after she refused to assure the Brexiteer politician the European Union will prevent Dutch fishermen from "stealing fish" after Brexit.

Addressing Ms Jourova after she insisted the EU would act "according to the law," Mr Lowe said: "You speak in platitudes.

"Surely, EU values are judged by what the hands are doing, not by what the mouth is saying. After all, the treaties also say the EU contributes to the strict observance of international law.

"Let me be more specific. Under international law, the EU will not have rights to fish in British waters after Brexit unless there is a deal.

"Whether there’s a deal or not, the EU cannot discriminate between WTO members so if there’s no deal, what will the EU do to uphold international law so that Dutch fishermen don’t steal fish in British waters and French fishermen don’t blockade Calais?"

European Commissioner Jourova refused to answer the question: "I would refer this question to my colleague, Michel Barnier, who is the negotiator and knows all the aspects of no deal, and deal and whatever deal."
