How was it for EU? - For Europe, the Brexit deal makes the best of a bad business | Europe

How was it for EU?
For Europe, the Brexit deal makes the best of a bad business
The EU got an orderly transition that leaves Britain worse off than membership
HEN THE trade deal between the
EU and Britain was done, there was little celebration in Brussels. Instead, the moaning began. “This is a dark day for the European fishing industry,” declared Gerard van Balsfoort, chairman of the European Fisheries Alliance, a lobby group for fishermen. Indeed, conflict over matters piscatorial dominated the final stages of the negotiations, leaving economists flabbergasted that such a tiny sector could hook so much attention.

Brexit: The fishing industry reacts to the trade deal - not a sellout but not a Christmas bonanza either

Of all the Brexit issues, fishing was arguably the most symbolic.
The UK fleet felt they had everything to gain and almost nothing to lose so how have they done? The picture is mixed and everyone is using the caveat of let’s see the detail but the sense from the industry in the UK tonight is that it’s “not a sellout but not a Christmas bonanza either”. The UK fleet will get more share of the quota over the next five years, 15% more in 2021 rising each year hitting 25% in five years time, at which point the UK will achieve full independent coastal status and will decide who gets what in further negotiations. David Stevens is a trawler skipper in Newlyn, he told ITV News: "On the whole negotiators did well… good amounts of quota repatriated”.

"But they don't speak much about the importance of the great market that the EU offers."
He added: "See what a 48-hour closure has done and the impact it has had in the British fishing industry.
"It's time for them to start making decisions.
"First by starting to truly assess the impact of leaving the EU without an agreement."
Mr Lopez added: "This shouldn't affect the Spanish industry much.
"There are only a few days left until Christmas Eve and the products that are going to be consumed that night and the day after are already being sold in supermarkets.

Michel Barnier has told EU Ambassadors that progress has been made towards a Brexit deal, according to multiple reports.
However, fisheries remains the key stumbling block and as a result there is now doubt that a deal will be ready in time for the December 31 deadline.
Barnier is reported to have said that his offer on fisheries – that the EU would hand over 25 per cent of the value of fish caught in water by EU boats – is non-negotiable.
The UK is said to have demanded 35 per cent.
