UK drops push for renationalising of fishing vessels in Brexit talks

No 10 said to have reached a compromise over fishing vessels to be majority British-owned in future

Downing Street has watered down a key demand over post-Brexit fishing rights as part of a broader compromise, EU sources said as Germany's ambassador in Brussels said there was a chance of a deal by the weekend.

The UK dropped a push for fishing vessels operating under the UK flag to be majority British-owned in the future, it was claimed.
