The fishing deal should be relatively unimportant to each side (I believe Harrods employs more people and adds more to UK GDP) but the UK does seem keen to want to end the current arrangements.

.... and the reason for this is quite simple. Why should the EU dip into our back pockets, so to speak? Surely we have the the over-riding say over who fishes in our waters? It's called sovereignty.
They say the price for a trade deal is that the fishing status quo is maintained; after all, Barnier has said, if the UK regains control of its waters, the livelihoods of the EU's fishing community will be destroyed.
