“UK sources have confirmed that London is proposing to remove a large component of fish stocks from the terms of any bilateral EU-UK free trade agreement,” Connelly wrote. “Instead, it will have them dealt with through an annual negotiation with other independent coastal states such as Russia, Greenland, the Faroes, Iceland and Norway.”
