I suggest not (look at the photo I attached to my post) but, if that were the case, why is Barnier demanding a fisheries agreement? If all those fish live in EU waters, then they're there for the EU's trawlers to take today. So, you're wrong again.

Oh, and BTW, why do you use so many *?

Your quotas from Norway are based on zonal attachment as ours will be. Your celebrating failure again.

We don't need reciprocal quota and we aren't in the single market like Norway is (although that looks to change soon and the UK and Norway will control pretty much all the fisheries).

My bet is Norway leave the single market altogether because it gets nothing the EU as well.

Then you will have nothing.

Given that the EEA does not cover fisheries, Norway and other EFTA EEA States do not benefit from entirely free trade with the EU. While Norway enjoys free access with regard to a number of white fish species, it is subject to different tariffs for others. For some fish species, such as salmon for example, tariffs are non-existent or low for unprocessed fish, but higher for processed fish, which has led to a Norwegian fish often being exported unprocessed, and being processed in the EU, most notably in Scotland, Denmark and Poland. The outcome of the EU-UK negotiations will determine if processing Norwegian fish in the UK will remain a profitable business model.
Generally speaking, for instance as regards farmed salmon, it would seem that following Brexit the competition between the UK and Norway as regards sales in the EU might intensify – and that the advantage the UK currently enjoys as regards completely free market to EU access could disappear.

Your answer touched on the matter of fish quota being sold by english fishers to EU members. You see the implications for both sides?

Remains the fact that the UK has no fishing rights in norwegian waters. Worse still, there are no negotiations going on between norway and the UK, while norway is busy talking with the EU.

Your so called new concept of zonal attachment is based on scientific data, which the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has begun to calculate for the UK. But it rarely gives a precise answer to the question of what fish belong where – which is perhaps why the EU and Norway, which have claimed to apply the zonal attachment principle for four decades, have never disclosed the exact methodology behind their calculations. Imagine a herring which is spawned in Norwegian waters, spends some time off the Dutch coast, and then is eventually caught in the UK’s EEZ. Which zone should it be counted under?

The answer – and thus the exact split of quotas between the UK, the EU, and Norway – could be amenable to political fudge.

That is including what the UK fishers catch in UK waters.
So the amount of all caught fish in UK waters can be set at ca. 700.000 tonnes.

UK*vessels landed 724 thousand tonnes of sea*fish*into the*UK*and abroad with a*value*of £980 million.

If no EU vessels are allowed anymore in UK waters, it seems logical the UK vessels will no longer be allowed in EU waters.

Now, if UK fishers catch all fish available in UK waters, 700.000 tonnes, they still get less than the 724.000 tonnes they catch while being an EU member.

So where is the logic in the fisheries debate?
The 6 million ton catch you claim as eu catch is made up of the
fish you catch (steal) from around Africa and other underdeveloped
places around the world Solly!!
Your super trawlers clean up these areas anr when they have depleted
one area they move on to the other and so on!
Fortunately some of these nations are getting wise to you and some
have banned your ships allready??
6 more months and you will be out of our waters and out of our
hair!!

A little country like the netherlands you dare to berate, you big bully. Try to do the same with those russian supertrawlers, fishing in your protected waters. Not a word did the UK dare to bring up! Ptah!
A wide berth did you give them

We could even increase that by careful management instead of

right now!! As you well know!!
Our whole coastline would be rejuvenated with no need for dole

you cant see any of them??
One thing we agree on is, we will soon find out!!

Hi

Fisheries are important politically, they are ours and we should control them.

On that we agree.

Financially they are minuscule, even if we took them all back.

We are not as a Nation ,suddenly going to change our eating habits.

What they are important for is simply this.

They are ours, it sends a strong Political Message to the EU that they can swan off and we are in charge now.

We are not here to subsidise the lifestyle of French Fishermen.
