so can the secretary of state guarantee that on the 1st ofjanuary, 2021, we will leave the common fisheries policyk control over our waters comes at our own fishery management policies, and hard quotas, and look at including that in the history built in if he should be concerned that i have in the scottish fishermen federation have that the snp scottish government will keep us in the policy and perpetuity and that would sell scotland's measurements out! for their part, the snp were up in arms. with concern, it's always somebody else‘s's fault for the conservatives. when we joined to the common fisheries policy, scotland's measurements were described as expendable. so there were use to scottish tourist sell—outs, given the matter of days out even scotland's measurement will be surprised at how quickly that one was turned around. will the minister tell me at what point are fishermen became a bargaining chip or has that been the case all along and does he agree with me that there are now in the worst of all worlds that were in the common fisheries policy but no say, and will he also tell me why over

we have been clear that when we leave the european union, we leave the common fisheries policy.ns that under international law, the un convention of the law of the sea, we become an independent coastal state that we will manage the fisheries resources in our exclusive economic zone and manage access to oui’ own waters. does the minister agree that leaving the european union provides fishermen with a sea of opportunity and part of that will include protecting them... i wonder if we can get an answer with no dodge, given all the tales they tell fishermen. mr speaker, the government is still seeking a trade deal in the future, but he should also be aware that other countries like norway and iceland have control of their waters, they grant access and the other that we will continue to be part of that negotiation. to agree an approach on the management of shared stocks and we envisage that such meetings will continue. but i can confirm that the uk government's view is that there is a trade discussion to take place and we want a free trade agreement and the fisheries discussion to tak

people are united that the worst part of the eu membership is the common fisheries policy.n we leave the european union, we leave that policy. on that day, the armada of eu trawlers plundering the fishing grounds of the uk since 1973 will not be happy their best years are behind them. will he make sure the royal navy has the resources it needs to protect our sovereign waters and make sure that the british fishing industry is rebirthed. it was interesting to see that report on line. could be secretary of state reassure me they have been robust on helping northumbrian fishermen to make sure we regain control of fishing waters before making certain who can fishing them? you are right. it was an odd linkage to make. the simple truth is when we leave the eu, we will be an independent coastal state and asa will be an independent coastal state and as a result we will control our owfi and as a result we will control our own waters. we will continue to negotiate with neighbouring states because fish move. we will talk about quotas and the rest of it. but we control our destiny. when

fishermen had expected the uk to leave the common fisheries policy in march next year.he conservative mp for banff & buchan, david duguid, has said his constituents and the fishing communities are disappointed and is threatening to vote down a final brexit deal. he's been speaking to our political correspondent, chris mason. absolutely, this is the biggest constituency for fishing absolutely, this is the biggest constituency forfishing in banff absolutely, this is the biggest constituency for fishing in banff & buchan, and my constituents across the board are disappointed with what has come out today. i think we a lwa ys has come out today. i think we always knew there would be some kind of leeway in the implementation period but we were looking at a nine—month period between the march brexit date and the end of the calendar year and that has been extended by another 12 months which we are finding unacceptable.” extended by another 12 months which we are finding unacceptable. i guess the essence of this is that in the campaign of taking back control, something central t

so, what does the eu's common fisheries policy do?ber states. to take back full control of its exclusive economic zone. here it is — much bigger, 200 nautical miles off the coastline. are to other eu countries. are landed by boats from elsewhere in the eu. but of course, it cuts both ways. to fish in french, irish or norwegian waters. scottish boats, much less so. throw up some problems. of the brexit negotiations. is there any precedent? well, there is greenland. in 1982, fishing was the big issue. for its produce. that's a trade—off the uk may have to think about, too. period after brexit. not going to happen. but the uk wouldn't have a vote when decisions were made. 27 divided up the rest. even if the overall uk share won't be reduced. an there's already been angry reaction, especially in scotland. has been massively sold out by the tories. over fishing waters. or early next year. 9pm, let's take a look at the weather. weather. starting to plummet across many parts of the uk. parts of the uk. today in york we are seeing signs of sp

but i would say the only party in this house committed to leaving the common fisheries policy is thehat position, as well. it is critical all of us make sure that leaving the common fisheries policy at the end of 2020 enables us to make sure that his community in orkney and shetland and all of our communities benefit from the new freedoms leaving the cfb will bring. the environment secretary in the house of commons in the last little while. all part of the last little while. all part of the fallout from the transition deal agreed yesterday. now the weather with thomas sharon acker. —— now the weather. a slight change from yesterday had a huge change from a couple days ago. todayis huge change from a couple days ago. today is the first day of astronomical spring. it is spring equinox, so the sunshine is directly over the equator and the weather will be turning milder in the next few days, not an awful lot. most of the time it will stay below average but at least the weather this afternoon and the rest of the day is fairly decent. on the satellite picture you can see these clouds, this

that's a conservative party, a conservative party that is committed to coming out of the common fisheries policy. his party wants to stay in the common fisheries party.

disastrous common fisheries policy. anti-fish! bsolutely and unequivocally take back for control of our waters from 2021? as i said earlier, the point about the implementation period is that it is the period during which people are able to move to make the changes necessary for the new economic partnership that we will have. it assures that businesses, fisher men included, don't face too many cliff edge changes in the way they are operating. by definition, because it is maintaining as far as possible be status quo so that people don't have to make those extra changes, it is, i recognise, not the same as and won't be the same as the end state when we are able to have a future economic partnership and have those new relationships. as i said earlier, one of the elements we will be looking for a reassuring the industry and providing for the fishing industry is making sure we do take back control of our waters. cani do take back control of our waters. can i associate myself with the prime minister, the leader of the 0pposition and the l

finally, he talks about the common fisheries policy. d, and that the government will not enter a treaty or introduce legislation which confers such jurisdiction and which confers such jurisdiction and which a recently retired european courtjudge said would be illegal viper‘s nest? courtjudge said would be illegal viper's nest? can i say to my honourable friend that as i have said before in this chamber in response to a question from our honourable friend the member for north east somerset, during the fermentation period, because we will continue to operate on largely the same basis as currently, then of course there will continue to be the role for the european court of justice. once we have ended the limitation period, it will be a very different story and we will be absolutely in the position i know my honourable friend wants, of taking back control of our laws. of course, there are some issues still to be addressed as i referenced in my statement on the withdrawal agreement, for example the governance of the agreement, but there are a

the common fisheries policy is remarkably distorted.ut. soa distorted and it needs sorting out. so a delay in that is not impressive but we understand the wider picture and just as long as we are guaranteed it will not actually get worse. what material impact could this have on the livelihoods of scottish fishermen? the material affect of brexit for fishermen, this should be a happy success story of brexit. we retain, the value of fish landed by the uk is about £130 million a year. we keep a0% of the fish that leave our waters, 60% of the fish that leave our waters do so in the hands of other european nations. so the impact is an annual loss at today's prices of approximately £1 billion. we want to get on with progressively recovering that. so that is the effect on the livelihoods of the coastal communities all around the uk. that lack of economic activity. we're keeping on the community nights around europe and that will not do. michael gove said today in the house of commons that of course he comes from fishing stocks, his grandparent

the uk government had said when the uk left the eu it would leave the common fisheries policy. on access to scottish waters. but a deal agreed in brussels yesterday means that until the end of 2020, will continue to apply those rules. and the uk won't be at the table for annual negotiations next year, though it will be consulted. and in parliament this afternoon, a sense of the fury. the mood in fishing communities today is one of palpable anger. this is not what they were promised. far from, to use his own words, a sea of opportunity, all this deal does is underline like the heath, thatcher and major governments that preceded this, that the tories are happy to throw scotland's fishing industry over the side. the environment secretary said he shared the disappointment. critically, in december 2020, we will be negotiating fishing opportunities as a third country and independent coastal state, deciding who can access our waters and on what turns for first time in over a0 years. but at holyrood, the scottish government isn't convinced. the tories have sold out the scottish fishing

but one of those things that does not change as the common fisheries policy.t coming? i think they did. there is the curiosity around the fishing because it is symbolically hugely important to the context of brexit. it is a small sliver of the overall uk economy though i‘ll be it concentrates in particular areas. in fishing communities their industry has decimated and many of them hugely critical of the fishing policy. they had hoped that there might be some transition but they would only have to stay within the confines of eu fishing regulations for perhaps nine months or one year after the pointer brexit. they now know it is going to be nearly two years and are deeply angry. they are certainly using this point to flex their local muscle, to try and ensure that any long term after the transition and implementation period they got an arrangement around fishing rights that is from their perspective a notable improvement on what happens. we are talked about the transition deal means in the uk but what about in the eu? are they very united still? they are certain

and the scottish fishermen‘s federation, that the scottish government would keep us in the common fisheries policyt would sell scotland's fishermen out? the snp were livid. they also tell me why over the years the snp has proposed changes to bring greater control over fishing policies but have been rejected, does he agree with me that because it is a big industry in scotland and important to the scottish government but means nothing at westminster? surely it is a question of what importance we put on something as to whether we got it. therefore i ask my right honourable friend, what did we get in return? the big prize is an implementation period that allows us as a country to prepare for the benefits that it will bring. but the lib dem who raised the question warned michael gove against taking fishermen for granted. it was reported that the government chief whip today — or yesterday rather — told his backbenchers, "it is not like the fishermen are going to vote labour." if that is true, it betrays a certain attitude and the secretary of state should not become complacent, he should not take it for

we are leaving the common agricultural policy and the common fisheries policy and we want to take theo reform our agriculture and fishery as management and regain control of access to our waters. i fully expect that our standards will remain at least as high as the e.u.'s but it will be particularly important to -- ♪ vonnie: live from new york, i'm vonnie quinn. >> and from london, i'm mark barton. this is "bloomberg markets." let's cross over to prime minister theresa may. she's speaking to parliament right now. >> i am the sexeerk my message to my friends in europe are clear. you asked us to sit out and we want more details. we have done that. we have shown we understand your principle. we have a shared interest in getting this right. so let's get on with it and i commend this statement to the house. >> i would like to thank the prime minister for the advanced copy of this statement. 20 months have passed since the referendum, a year has passed since the triggering of article 50. 21 wasted months in which the arrogance of some of the cabinet who said it would be the easiest deal in

of state for the relevant department said about ten days ago that the uk would leave the common fisheries policythis very short period, it is deeply unsatisfactory. you admit it has gone badly wrong? it is not for me to admit, i don't like this report at all. i make no bones about it, i think this transition agreement is a very unsatisfactory agreement, notjust on fish. the only thing that makes it acceptable is the hope that it is leading to a proper brexit at the end of 2020. it is all very well saying that... but this agreement gives away almost everything and it is hard to see what the government has got in return. right, so all that stuff now in green that you can't take back you think are big misses? hold on, nothing is agreed until everything is agreed. when its in green, it has been signed off, hasn't it, so it doesn't get re—debated? there is a process — nothing is agreed until everything is agreed. it's an important part of this because there is a staging post in the negotiations and if the government isn't satisfied with things at a later stage, then it can pull back on things it has

we are leaving the common fisheries policy. the u.k. will regain control of our waters and as part of our economic partnership, we will continue to work together to manage shared stock in a fair way and continue a fair allocation of fishing opportunities for the u.k. fishing industry and ensure open market for each other's products. partnership needs to be deeper than any free trade agreement, we have the opportunity to break ground with a broader agreement than ever before. we recognize that certain aspects of trade and services are intrinsically linked with single market but we should only allow these barriers to be infused with absolutely necessary. we do not want to discriminate against e.u. services provided in the u.k. and we do not want me e.u. to discriminate -- want the e.u. to discriminate against u.k. service providers. on annt to agree appropriate labor mobility framework that allows labor professionals to travel to the e.u. to provide services to clients in person and u.k. professionals and to provide services over the fed

i don't agree with that, i absolutely admit to being very disappointed on the common fisheries policying it, on march 29, 2019, we will be leaving the common fisheries policy, we will be out of the eu, but nevertheless because we want this implementation period, what we are having to agree to is continuing to abide by a number of the rules that are effectively rules that apply to eu members. but it is a red line to you? clearly, the big prize is after the independent that —— implementation period we will have oui’ implementation period we will have our own seat at the united nations, and bodies that disturbances tenable yields —— determine sustainable yields, so will be in charge of our own borders and our own fish and then be able to negotiate as a free independent country once again. you are the leader of the house, the government has promised a meaningful vote on the deal brought back in 0ctober, what happens if the house of commons votes against it? we will get a deal the house can support, as we have shown through the eu withdrawal bill, we had 370 amendments put onto that at com

from cornwall to scotland there are fishing communities who very much resent the common fisheries policy our waters. one of the promises during the referendum campaign is that control would be taken back from all of that. we had the prime minister travelling around the country meeting fishermen, talking about that. the fear among fishing communities has always been that with negotiations with brothers billy mac pro brussels, lucrative access to our waters could be traded away —— negotiations with brussels. today, michael gove, the environment secretary of state and a leading brexiteer himself, found himself facing a lot of criticism from across the house. there is a significant prize at the end of the mentation period, and it is important that all of us accept that the intimidation period is a necessary step to securing that rise. for our coastal communities, it is an opportunity to revive economically. for our marine environment, it is an opportunity to be maintained and it is important that all of us keep our eyes on that prize. mr alistair carmichael. the problem he has is that as rec
