brussels/london - A new EU-UK deal extends Dutch fishing access in British waters until 2038, impacting trade and diplomatic relations. The agreement includes concessions on fisheries exchanged for streamlined food standards.

Dutch Fishermen Secure Extended Access to British Waters

A new deal between the European Union and the United Kingdom will see Dutch fishermen continue to fish in British waters until 2038, extending current agreements by 12 years.

Diplomatic Negotiations and Benefits

Netherlands exerted diplomatic pressure to secure fishing agreements, involving figures like Premier Dick Schoof and Minister Caspar Veldkamp. The trade-off for fishing concessions includes reduced bureaucratic controls on food and product standards, benefiting Dutch farmers and facilitating smoother trade.

The agreement, to be signed by EU's Ursula von der Leyen and UK's Keir Starmer, also opens avenues for UK access to EU defense plans and closer energy cooperation.

Reactions and Controversy

The fishing concession has sparked criticism from hardline Brexiteers, labeled as 'Surrender Summit' by some media. Opposition leader Kemi Badenoch condemned the move as a 'betrayal of Brexit,' promising to reverse measures if possible.

British Fishermen's Federation criticized the UK government's willingness to extend quotas, reflecting the asymmetrical dependence on British waters for Dutch and French fishermen post-Brexit.

UK Prime Minister Starmer defended the pragmatism of the negotiations, contrasting it with past idealistic approaches. Convincing political opponents of the rationale behind fishing concessions poses a challenge.
