The Minister of Foreign Affairs BritainDavid Lami, may be required to pay a fine of £ 2,500 (about 2,940 euros), as he fished without the required permission during his stay with the US Vice President Jay Di Vance.
The two men were photographed last week fishing on the lake of official Chevening House residence in southeast England, before a bilateral meeting as part of Jay Di Vance’s work visit to Britain.
The US Vice President jumped in front of the cameras, saying that “the only pressure on the special relationship” US – United Kingdom came from the fact that his three children had caught fish … but not David Lami.
In the United Kingdom, the law obliges all fishermen to have a valid fishing license, even in a private area and even if they do not catch anything. Violators are at risk of up to £ 2,500.
Forine Ophis said David Lami had not obtained the permission before fishing exit, but arranged the omission as soon as he was informed of the mistake. “The foreign minister wrote to the Ministry of the Environment on an administrative omission that prevented the issuance of the necessary permits,” a spokesman said.
He did not specify whether he had been licensed for Vance, who was visiting the United Kingdom with his wife, and their children, who spend the week in the village of Dean, at Kotswolds, after staying at the Chevening House.
