"We've made a link between the two," the source said.
The post-Brexit dispute over access to the UK's rich fishing
grounds last week saw France and Britain send patrol vessels to
the Channel island of Jersey as a flotilla of French trawlers
sailed there in protest.
A second source said Britain was failing to adhere to the terms
of a deal governing its post-Brexit trade relations with the EU.
There can be no progress on other dossiers if these are not
resolved, the source, a European diplomat, added.
"It's not just France and it's not just fishing," the European
diplomat said. "Britain must fully apply the agreements it
signed up to, which is not the case right now."
