British fishermen have warned they were “suspicious” of the Prime Minister’s Brexit deal with the small print of the proposed agreement suggesting they may be forced into regulations similar to that of the EU’s Common Fisheries Policy.
British fishermen have warned they could be betrayed by the Prime Minister’s Brexit draft agreement with the European Union. Fishing chiefs have raised concerns with the text within the ‘political declaration on the future relationship’ and warned they could be forced into a deal similar to that of the Common Fisheries Policy.
