London offered four. And at the end, they settled out of 12.
The gift, flocked by criticism, is a political gamble for Starmer, which seems to exchange a blow to a relatively small part by a symbolic part of the British economy for victories elsewhere.
The decision immediately gave euroskeptics as the reform of the leader of the United Kingdom Nigel Farage and the conservative chief of the Conservative Kemi Badenoch a line of attack clear.
Farage declared the agreement “The end of the fishing industry” while Badenoch described it as “sale”. The Euroskeptic parties of the British press are already following their example, and even Johnson himself has reappeared for waste in colorful terms.
While minimizing the idea that fishermen’s communities will be seriously affected and will offer both fresh investments and a softening of food controls as an ÉroCrant, Starmer hopes that his victories in other political areas will attract the attention of the British.
By obtaining the green light for a health and phytosanitary agreement (SPS) and reintegration on the internal electricity market, the United Kingdom has actually been authorized to break one of the rules of the Brexit of Brussels: no “cherry picking”.
