the French have already stated that they will try to prevent boats from launching, and stop the criminal gangs, but will not stop boats that have already launched as that could be dangerous and lead to loss of life.
if they are floundering and request help them they will if course save them.

that seems to be a sensible approach to take, surely nobody wants anyone to needlessly die because of this?
