The British have made “huge concessions” in the Brexit negotiations, a French government source told Agence France-Presse on Wednesday (December 23rd).
The negotiators of the United Kingdom have agreed to give in on very important points relating in particular to fishing, said this source, that is to say the last point still blocking in the discussions, which could make it possible to avoid in extremis a “no deal. “Just eight days from the final break.
These concessions have taken place in the last 48 hours, said this source, without specifying whether they could be sufficient for an agreement or if others were still necessary.
Fishing, point of contention
The access of European fishermen to British waters remained on Wednesday the ultimate sticking point of the discussions, moreover almost completed, including on previously problematic subjects, such as how to settle disputes and measures to protect against any unfair competition.
Despite its low economic weight, fishing is of political and social importance for several Member States, including France, but also the Netherlands, Denmark and Ireland.
