Denmark warns the UK that bigger catches in UK waters may not mean bigger sales to the EU.
The EU's mandate, its position in the negotiations, is that both current access to UK waters and the current share held by each country must stay the same. And the EU says keeping continuity in fishing is a precondition for granting the UK a trade deal.
"When UK vessels are fishing their quota in UK zone or European zone, they also cross the border, because maybe they can sell their catches of fish for a higher price in Norway, the Faroe Islands or Denmark. So they are crossing the border same as we do." "The biggest volumes of herrings for instance are consumed in the EU. Not that much in the UK," he says.
"We supply the big trawlers with fish, because they don't eat herring or hake or whatever they bring in. So they give us a call and say can you deliver to us haddock or cod."Above the door of Skagen's town hall there's a huge carving of a fish. Mayor Birgit Hansen's own family history shows the ties that have bound fishing communities on both sides of the North Sea.
