On Monday 11 January, MEPs on the European Parliament’s Committee on Fisheries were rather critical of the fisheries section of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement, which has been in force since 1 January 2021 (see EUROPE B12632A3, B12632A4).
While they generally welcomed the existence of fisheries arrangements between the parties, Members on this committee expressed doubts about the proper implementation of the agreement after the end of the transitional period in 2026.
