LOCAL fisherman are putting a positive spin on the failure of the UK and Norway to reach an agreement on a fishing deal.
They said past agreements were brokered by the European Union and were heavily skewed against the local pelagic and demersal fleets.
Shetland Fishermen’s Association chief officer Simon Collins said: “This bring a long-awaited end to past practice in which the EU used to hand substantial amounts of Scottish quota to Norway largely to the benefit of a single foreign multinational that claimed to be English.”

The chief executive of UK Fisheries Jane Sandell, however, said it is a “very black day for Britain” and claimed that hundreds of fishermen would be left out of work as a result.
