Re: 3yr fishing deal???
This business of allowing EU countries to fish in our waters is interesting.
Ideally, we should be able to fish our own waters without any competition and, if the EU countries want to buy our fish, then that's fine.
Unfortunately, the EU's requirement for fish would probably exceed what our fishermen could catch, at least until our fishery industry has expanded, so one of two things would have to happen:
1. We allow the EU countries to fish in our waters under licence, landing their fish in one of our ports for monitoring purposes and to ensure they don't exceed their allowances. Any processing should, of course, be done by our own people.
OR
2. The Europeans change their dietary habits!
