French lead opposition to Brexit deal on fisheries
By EUobserver
A group of French-led EU member states including Denmark, Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands on Thursday called for changes to fishing arrangements in the draft Brexit deal agreed between London and Brussels. More than 50 percent of fish caught in UK waters last year were caught by non-UK vessels. The draft Brexit deal states that the two sides would try to agree on the future of fisheries by July 2020.
