Downing Street has watered down a key demand over post-Brexit fishing rights as part of a broader compromise, EU sources said as Germany’s ambassador in Brussels said there was a chance of a deal by the weekend.
The UK dropped a push for fishing vessels operating under the UK flag to be majority British-owned in the future, it was claimed.
