This situation is outrageous and, dare I say it, typically French. They always purport to be an integral, nay vital, member of the EU but whenever there is a problem the national interest comes before the community interest.
In the UK we now have to regulary use part of our motorway system to park lorries stranded by strikes in the French ports, they ignore EU law (they still wont accept British beef) and as for the use of English and French in ATC its simply stupid. As an aside though you have got to admire a country that has so many good points and is so pround of its national identity, (tricolour flags everywhere) and the wine and women.............
I just wish the UK government would look after our interests with as much vigour as the French.
