Fishing is hardly the main number of the calls. After all, it is not about crazy money. But a more symbolically charged question is difficult to find. There is great concern among European fishermen to be ported from the attractive British waters. And many of the EU's fishing countries therefore want to put the highest priority on the issue of continued fishing rights.

At the same time, British politicians have vowed to take back control of the fishing waters and give their own fishermen a larger share of the catch. To back away from it will be a betrayal of a professional group that predominantly voted to leave the EU. But properly played, the fishing license can give the British something more valuable in exchange. For example, access to the Union financial market. You get fish - we get funds.

Maybe answer with fishing duties

Although one wonders what the British are going to do with all their fish? Continue to sell most of it to the EU today? Well, it would be very difficult for the governments of Paris, The Hague and Copenhagen to give up the right to fish and then import increasingly British fish. Perhaps the EU is responding instead to fishing tariffs.

Otherwise, you can keep the catch yourself. The British would then get fish on the plate twice as often as today. However, much of what is caught is not suitable for fish'n'chips. But you can learn to appreciate something else too.
