  • The EU's chief Brexit negotiator has urged member states to come up with a compromise on fishing rights to present to Britain, as trade talks reach their most delicate phase, European sources said on Thursday. The advice was made at meeting of member state envoys on Wednesday in which Barnier also insisted Brussels will hold firm on negotiation priorities such as state aid and the governance mechanism of the final deal. Fishing rights are a main concern for countries sharing seas with Britain: the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Germany and especially France, which has taken the toughest line on the issue. "If we want an agreement, we will also need to find agreement on fish," Barnier told the envoys, according to a diplomat who was briefed on the matter. "We need a compromise that we would float to the UK as part of a total agreement," Barnier reportedly added. In negotiations, the European side has so far insisted that its vessels would continue to enjoy unfettered access to UK waters, even after a post-Brexit transition phase that ends on December 31. But Britain wants this access limited significantly and has called for fishing rights in its waters to be renegotiated every year, a demand that the EU will refuse, sources said. Diplomats said a compromise among Europeans would require a delicate balance between member states keen to keep access to Britain's deep water fishing, and others eyeing access to coastal waters, including the Channel Islands. Barnier warned, however, that fishing rights should in no way divide Europeans or push them into making concessions on the other key issues, the sources said. "Barnier is looking for room to manoeuvre among the Europeans," one diplomat noted. Barnier believes the EU must "prepare itself for a reduced access to British waters," the diplomat added. Brexit will be a main topic at an EU summit on October 15, the date that Prime Minister Boris Johnson has marked down as the deadline for a clear signal that the EU is willing to do a deal. Negotiations between the EU and UK will take place until that date and most likely later, with Brussels still hoping to come up with the outline of a deal by the end of the month. csg-zap-arp/dc/rl
