As I pointed out in my previous contribution, the UK is looking for 80% of what EU fleets would fish in UK waters and to return access entirely to its own fleet. Our clear position has been that we want to maintain the quota stocks that are there and maintain access. That is the only guidance we have given on our objectives for the outcome of the negotiations. We are fighting hard in every way we can to ensure that is the outcome.
