Brexit: UK has lowered demands on fish catches, says EU
It seems to me that the EU will simply allow a "crash-out" and continue the negotiations into 2021.A number of member states, including France, whose president, Emmanuel Macron, has repeatedly stressed the importance of protecting Europe’s fisheries, told Barnier they would prefer to restart the negotiations in 2021 than rush into a deal that would damage their coastal communities.I'm alright JackComment
