Tensions have risen after hundreds of immigrants have illegally stormed no go areas in Calais in desperate and dangerous attempts to board lorries and trains to reach Dover !
Calais residents are also cringing at the sight of the increased number of Immigrants roaming their Streets.
Xavier Bertrand, who is a Candidate in the Regional Election in December (1) has openly attacked Britain for its lax rules concerning "cheap black labour jobs" available in Britain and threatens to renounce the 2003 Le Touquet Agreement between Britain and France.
This may be too early because at present in France he is only a member of the Opposition in Parliament ! That is probably why he has also suggested that the Ministers in France and Britain should meet again to change the current rules.
This again will resolve nothing because this is not just a "Calais" problem, but one which concerns the whole of the EU !
The immigrants in Calais mainly come from Asia, the Middle East and Africa : they enter the EU mainly via Greece, Italy and Spain. If they were stopped at the Border before entering France, there would be less Immigrants in Calais ! (There is also a problem with Romainian Migrants in Paris as Xavier Bertrand probably knows !)
The problems of unwanted Immigrants (and Migrants) can only be solved if and when EU Treaties are changed and when there is a strict control on the Borders of "Schengen" by each and every country in the EU !
Angela Merkel, who is the Chancellor of Land-locked Germany in the South which has only Switzerland as a non-EU neighbour, does not want to change any of the Treaties ! Perhaps David Cameron will be able to persuade her !
