That was in connection with the withdrawal deal ONLY and with Parliament being prepared to pass it. That happened.


The EU agreed to this, Were they lying?

It must also ensure the sovereignty of the United Kingdom and the protection of
its internal market, while respecting the result of the 2016 referendum including with regard
to the development of its independent trade policy and the ending of free movement of
people between the Union and the United Kingdom.

Above all, it should be a relationship that
will work in the interests of citizens of the Union and the United Kingdom, now and in the
future.

XII. FISHING OPPORTUNITIES
71. The Parties should cooperate bilaterally and internationally to ensure fishing at sustainable
levels, promote resource conservation, and foster a clean, healthy and productive marine
environment, noting that the United Kingdom will be an independent coastal state.
72. While preserving regulatory autonomy, the Parties should cooperate on the development of
measures for the conservation, rational management and regulation of fisheries, in a nondiscriminatory
manner. They will work closely with other coastal states and in international
fora, including to manage shared stocks.
73. Within the context of the overall economic partnership the Parties should establish a new
fisheries agreement on, inter alia, access to waters and quota shares.
...
130. Unless otherwise provided, the Joint Committee may agree to refer the dispute to an
independent arbitration panel at any time, and either Party should be able to do so where the
Joint Committee has not arrived at a mutually satisfactory resolution within a defined period
of time. The decisions of the independent arbitration panel will be binding on the Parties.
131. The Parties indicate that should a dispute raise a question of interpretation of provisions or
concepts of Union law, which may also be indicated by either Party, the arbitration panel
should refer the question to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) as the sole
arbiter of Union law, for a binding ruling as regards the interpretation of Union law.
Conversely, there should be no reference to the CJEU where a dispute does not raise such a
question.
