"As negotiations continue over a trade deal between the UK and the EU, there are very mixed messages coming from both sides. After a rather disappointing round of talks on Wednesday, yesterday appeared to hold out much more hope. As was mentioned yesterday, the matter of fishing rights is punching well above its weight in discussions. It is often the case that a symbolic cause carries more weight than something more basic and meaningful.

Despite an air of optimism, there has been no significant comment over the matters of competition and Government support. It has been fishing where the militancy of the French fleet is well known that there has been open disagreement.

It was expected that this would be the week when an agreement of sorts would be confirmed. This would give the EU Commission and British Parliament a chance to ratify the terms without the late-night dramas that were seen a year ago.
