New quota deal with EU worth $386 million to UK trawlers

Agreement with the EU brings the total value of fishing opportunities secured for the UK fleet in 2023 to $910 million.

The UK government framed the deal as victory, highlighting the 27 percent increase on 110,000 tons it claimed the UK would have been allocated if it were still a member of the bloc.
