PARIS (Reuters) - French fishermen plan to block the Channel Tunnel and the port of Calais on Friday in protest at Britain's failure to issue them with more fishing licences since Brexit.

Members of the fishermen's association told an online news conference on Thursday that a large number of vehicles would be used to block the Channel Tunnel, which is used to ship goods by rail between Britain and France.
