Yorkshire’s last distant-water fishery has been scuppered after the Government ended talks with Norway on Thursday without a deal in what has been described as a “very black day for Britain”.
The failure to land a deal allowing the UK to fish in Norwegian sub-Arctic waters means the crew of the £52m Kirkella, which lands into Hull, has no work.
Ricky Campbell, deckhand, who has worked for three years on the Kirkella: “In consequence, there will be no British-caught Arctic cod sold through chippies for our national dish – it will all be imported from the Norwegians, who will continue to sell their fish products to the UK tariff-free while we are excluded from these waters.
"Quite simply, this is a disgrace and a national embarrassment.” https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/pe ... ay-3219797
