EU negotiator Michel Barnier, meanwhile, has previously warned that if there was no outline of a deal before the end of October then it would be tricky for member states and the European Parliament to approve it this year. “The discussions are continuing in Brussels today and we will be in position to take stock ahead of European Council, let’s see what progress can be made over the course of the next two days,” the spokesman said.
Last week, Barnier spoke to fishing ministers and asked them to draw up terms for a compromise on fishing that would allow the UK to negotiate access to its waters for EU boats—although diplomats said such an offer would only be made once the other issues were resolved.Fishing is not a key issue for many EU member states, but those like France and the Netherlands whose fleets have a long tradition of working in UK waters will drive a hard bargain.
Irish Foreign Minister Simon Coveney said the two sides were still “very far apart” on the vexed question of fish and insisted EU trawlermen would not be hung out to dry. “We will discuss this intensively at the European Council in two days’ time, we want an agreement,” she said. “But we must also look at the realities, because an agreement must of course be in the interests of both sides.”
