A few points on fish form EU in terms of safeguards that make this a little less straightforward for UK sovereignty after transition period. 1) there's a link between fish and energy agreement in FTA so that if fish access is denied, energy agreement rollover could end...-1-
2 -- there's a safeguard clause in the clause to allow a party to take measures in response to serious econ, social, other problems. That explicitly includes a trigger for fishing activities and their communities. #fish #Brexit -2-
Finally, there's 3) the retailiatory options -- possibility of proportional remedial actions. Could be to lock UK boats out of EU waters, could be tariffs on fishing goods. So all in all, UK can't just do what they want in UK waters after 5.5 years. -3-
