UK-EU Fisheries Consultations

Defra is managing annual UK-EU fisheries consultations addressing technical measures, bottom trawling by EU vessels in UK waters, and implementation timelines for 2026. The consultations involve coordinating with the fishing industry on regulatory changes and potential impacts of sanitary and phytosanitary agreements. Current status shows inadequate industry communication and confusion over implementation deadlines, with parliamentary scrutiny ongoing.
