Answer 1

No.  But nobody is.

Answer 2

this dragnet stuf is happening all over the world ,

Here in Mexico it almost resulted in a war with shots being fired ,

Countries Navies should be involved to police this destructive  type of fishing.

Everything in the water is removed ,

Unfortunately many countries do not uphold the law and especially dont care if their fisherman go to other waters outside of their jurisdiction.

The people who are dragnetting are big companies in big ships well organised ,and the money involved is very much.

Small local fishing boats have no chance against them.

Only if we bring in Warships can we do anything about it.

Answer 3

The French have the biggest fracking egos anywhere.  What do you call a government who still tests nuclear weapons?  Ding ding...France!

No, they shouldn't  be entitled to a free lunch at the world's expense.

Answer 4

French like breaking rules whenever they think they can get away with it.

The UN Secretary Genetral's son profited by violating the Iraq Oil for Food program...  Why should the French honor any other agreement?
