Equally, we have businesses in supply chains that would like fresh fish found in EU waters more than ours - therefore it's in both our interests to get fresh fish to our shores as quickly as possible rather than import it from the EU. This makes the negotiation very important.

Someone hasn't woke up and smelt coffee but I doubt it is the EU, our Government are sleeping at the wheel here and an extension inevitable.
All the government sources are still saying there will be no extension, jfman. I understand that the need for an extension is your personal view as you keep repeating it, but that doesn't mean the government will do it. In fact, they've categorically denied that they would do so, pointing out that the electorate have made it clear that people just want this to be over.

As far as fishing is concerned, whatever did we do before we joined the EU? We will not be giving away our fish stocks again and UK fishermen have been promised that they will get back their fishing rights next year.
