The new agreement concerns this year's catch quotas, and will be concluded after the negotiations have been dragged out.
The agreement will also have a direct impact on Swedish fishermen as the lack of agreement has been put forward as the reason for the alarm reports that have come in about possible shrimp shortages in Sweden.
Swedish fishing boats have been stopped from fishing in Norwegian waters and this is where a large part of the shrimp fishing takes place during parts of the year.
The agreement saves Sweden from a shortage of shrimp
Sweden's fishermen's producer organization says that the agreement saves Sweden from a potential shrimp shortage.
- It makes it.
It will be a completely different situation, says the organization's chairman Peter Ronelöv Olsson to TT.
The fishing quotas in the new agreement have changed - in addition to shrimp, cod, haddock and saithe are also fished in the North Sea - but according to Peter Ronelöv Olsson, the new levels are good and ensure that it is not overfished.
He also does not believe that new quotas will affect shrimp prices very much.
- It will probably explode as usual once this is done, he says.
Swedish fishing boats left in port
But, despite a new agreement, the Swedish fishing boats remain in port.
The reason is that the Swedish Maritime Administration has not yet given permission for the fishing boats to lighten anchor.
- It's like this every time, sighs Peter Ronelöv Olsson.
He says that Danish boats have already been granted permission to fish in the zones in the North Sea, but that the Swedish authority is patiently waiting for further papers from Brussels.
- To be honest, I have no idea (when the permit will come).
It all depends on the mood of the authority, he says.
