Brexit fishing row heads for trade court showdown

Quick Summary:

The UK has banned European vessels from catching the silvery fish species in its North Sea waters but the EU is challenging the move.

In its submissions to the court, the EU has argued the geographical scope of the ban is not justified by the scientific modelling on stock levels, or the "economic and social impacts" on Danish fishing communities.

Without a last-minute compromise, it will mark the first time the two sides have gone to arbitration under the 2021 trade agreement agreed by Boris Johnson.
