Brexit news: UK and EU reach historic fisheries deal
After months of wrangling, the United Kingdom and the European Union have finally reached a deal on fishing rights.
The agreement will see the UK reduce its quota of fish caught in EU waters by 25% over the next five years.
The deal is a major breakthrough in the post-Brexit negotiations and will provide much-needed certainty for the fishing industry on both sides of the channel.
It is also a significant victory for the UK government, which had been under pressure from the fishing industry to secure a deal that would protect their livelihoods.
Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister, said the deal was a "win-win" for both the UK and the EU.
"This is a great deal for the British fishing industry and for the whole of the UK," he said.
"It gives our fishermen the certainty they need to plan for the future and it secures our access to fish stocks in EU waters."
