In the dispute over fishing licenses, there will initially be no French sanctions against Great Britain.
President Emmanuel Macron said on Monday evening on the sidelines of the world climate conference in Glasgow that talks on the subject would continue on Tuesday.
There will therefore be no French punitive measures from midnight.
While you are negotiating, you do not apply sanctions, the French broadcaster France Info quoted Macron as saying.
A French ultimatum to reach an agreement on the dispute over fishing licenses expires on Tuesday.
Paris had threatened to close some ports to British fishermen and to tighten controls on British boats and trucks.
The British government, for its part, had threatened countermeasures.
Paris accuses London of not adhering to the Brexit agreements and of refusing numerous French fishermen the license for British waters contrary to the agreement.
London denies the allegations.
It is about a few dozen boats that have not received a license due to missing documents.
