It would be very interesting if this turned out to be the case.
It would mean that the UK never meant what it said and some weasel wording would have to be found (and they're all expert at it) to cover the concessions made.

If I were to rank the importance of standing firm, fishing could be sacrificed (to a reasonable degree) if the level playing field did not fetter our growth and did not fall under any form of ECJ restriction.
