I'm not holding my breath until december 31st 2020, 23:59.

If Macron had his way you'd be holding your breath well into 2021

I hope this doesn't end up being the second 'Cod War'

Jimbuna · 12-06-20, 02:09 PM

We'll probably know this time tomorrow night what the final outcome is but I'm now thinking it will be a no deal result.

Boris has shown his intention to break international rules anyway

I fully understand UK's standpoint. Not an agreement at any cost.

I also understand EU's standpoint, when it comes to the same.

EU sources told the BBC an agreement on fishing was close but a No 10 source said there had been "no breakthrough".

A senior EU diplomat told the BBC that fishing "was definitely not the issue the talks are stuck on".

So, the U.K. will still participate in the European common market. Got it. Sounds fair and the U.K. wants to regulate the take of species in their own sovereign waters so they can better participate in that market, makes sense. But then the remaining E.U.members demand that U.K. waters should be open to everyone which would obviously reduce the chances of U.K. fisherman from participating in that market?

Seems obvious to me. I'd tell those French fisherman and whoever else wants to fish in U.K. waters to GFTs. Guess they should have listened to de Gaulle back in '67

France and Germany are the real policy makers in the EU and whilst I believe Merkel to be a little more tolerant and considerate, Macron being French really says it all when you look back at the UK relationship with France over the course of history.
