| You're wrong. Under the common fisheries policy UK fisherman can fish where they wish in EU waters, subject to complying with catch quotas designed to protect the sustainability of the species being fished. "The CFP is a set of rules for managing European fishing fleets and for conserving fish stocks. Designed to manage a common resource, it gives all European fishing fleets equal access to EU waters and fishing grounds and allows fishermen to compete fairly." https://ec.europa.eu/fisheries/cfp_en Also worth noting - the fishing industry accounts for less than one tenth of one percent of UK GDP. |
