Summary
Leaders of Britain’s fishing industry are urging Sir Keir Starmer to maintain a firm stance in negotiations with the EU over a new UK-EU pact, particularly concerning access arrangements for EU fishermen in British waters. As talks approach a crucial summit, Starmer seeks to establish a security and defense partnership while facing criticism from Conservatives for potentially conceding to EU demands. The EU ties a long-term fisheries deal to an agrifood trade agreement, which could significantly benefit UK fishermen, but contentious issues remain unresolved ahead of the meeting.
