The UK and EU are still trying to resolve differences on fish and SPS days before next week’s summit in London, Bloomberg's Alex Wickham says
- The UK has proposed that current fishing arrangements are extended for four years in a bid to satisfy EU asks on access to its waters. But the EU says that’s not long enough.
- The European Commission has told the UK that if it insists on a four-year limit on fisheries, the same limit will apply to a proposed SPS agreement to ease agri-food checks.
- The UK did not want the SPS deal to be time-limited. This has caused something of a last-minute impasse.
- Both sides still expect a deal to be done for Monday, but it may need high-level political intervention with so little time to go.
