Yep. But that is after the transition period, during which our supertrawlers will empty your waters.
Are you saying boris is incompetent in that he will be unable to pass a fisheries act?
And, most of all:
The UK will continue to be bound by the requirements of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and how they relate to the management of fisheries in any Brexit outcome.
This includes an obligation to co-operate with other coastal states on the management of shared stocks or stocks of associated species. T
