Fishing deadline: Panic as Norway talks collapse - trawler says chaos to hit in two weeks
BORIS JOHNSON is facing demands to urgently step up talks to secure agreements for fishing in distant waters such as Norway - with one company warning they "can't plan for anything beyond March".
The owner of the UK's largest freezer trawler, Kirkella, said stalled negotiations with Norway and other non-EU nations was a "sad tale of the Government’s failure". UK Fisheries Ltd has warned the future of its business is in jeopardy unless urgent action is taken.
They've demanded ministers double their efforts to secure a deal that could give them confidence in continued access to distant waters for fishing.
"The EU deal is done, but for distant-waters fishing it changes nothing.
"Without bilateral deals with Norway and others, there is no long-term viable distant-waters fishing industry in the UK," the group said.
"We are tired of asking: we demand that the Government acts now to save our industry."
