And who knows whether Macron will see fit to rescind the Le Touquet agreement? Either way the company will be in a more privileged position than the ferries or the ports of Calais and Dover. Jacques Gounon has a lot of political influence. That's how he got the job in the first place.
I can see them retaining that discreet silence all the while we are bunging The French Government, Eurotunnel and The Ports of Calais and Dunkirk millions and millions of pounds a year to bolster their security. I can't see Le Touquet being rescinded any time soon. It'll just mean that any additional checks introduced
may be done "juxtaposed" for the time being.
Plus I think they have to give fair notice.
