Cable Forum - View Single Post - UK & EU Agree Post-Brexit Trade Deal

If the Government really wants a deal then the level playing field is the only dealbreaker I can see there.

Fishing is a case of trading away more allocation for better access, i.e for the city. Fishing is more important to the French and access to the services market is more important for the UK. There is a basis for a deal there. Setting a time limit more than a year might also be a compromise especially if it punts the issue past the French Presidental Elections - the French have domestic politics to consider as well after all.

I just can't see fishing blowing up the entire deal.
