The interior ministers of France and the United Kingdom have signed an agreement that will see more police patrol beaches in northern France in an attempt to stop people trying to cross the English Channel in small boats – a regular source of friction between the two countries.
French Minister of Interior Gerald Darmanin and British Home Secretary Suella Braverman signed the agreement in Paris on Monday.
The British government has agreed to pay France about 72.2 million euros ($75m) in 2022-2023 – nearly 10 million euros ($10.3m) more than under an existing deal – in exchange for France increasing its security presence by 40 percent across sea access points on the coast.
