According to reports, Barnier said at a news conference: "This week (both sides) have not made significant progress. We can't go on like this forever." He said that the two sides must reach an agreement before October 31.
The report said that this round of negotiations started on June 2nd, and the most important issue was the issue of EU fishing vessels entering the British waters. Britain and Europe have previously promised to do their utmost to reach a fishery agreement before July 1, allowing fishermen time to adapt to the changes from 2021.
However, Barnier said earlier that EU fishery member states have made it clear that they have no intention of compromising.
According to previous reports, although fishery accounts for only 0.12% of the British economic output, it has become one of the most difficult issues in the Brexit negotiations due to historical, geographical and political reasons. It is reported that there are more than 100 species of fish in the waters of the European Union and the United Kingdom. Ensuring that Britain has greater control over these fish is Johnson's major commitment to the Brexit movement. Many British fishermen are also supporters of Brexit.
