UK: EU preparing to row back on rights to fish in British waters (The Times)

- Brussels is preparing to back down over a Brexit fishing deal and acknowledge

for the first time that European fleets do not have an automatic right to fish

in British waters. In a concession to help to unlock negotiations, Michel

Barnier is understood to accept that the UK will have to be treated as an

independent coastal state and have annual negotiations with the bloc over

fishing quotas from next year. The EU's chief negotiator told European diplomats

that the compromise would have to wait until other parts of the deal were closer

to being finalised.
