And you know the source of their catch problems?
Under the EU....
Scottish boats could:
1) catch quota that has been allocated to the Scottish industry
2) lease quota from other producers
3) swap quotas of fish that we have and still need but other countries want more of
4) transport their catch without restriction to the EU
Outside the EU
Scottish boats can:
1) catch the increased quota that has been allocated to the Scottish industry
Swapping quotas and quota leasing from the EU countries are no longer possible (one not allowed the other too expensive). The border/customs now in place isn't working very well.
"The Scottish Fishermen's Federation, which campaigned to leave the EU, also said the Brexit trade deal was the worst of both worlds for the industry"
Oh well done chaps. Though I am a little confused - Didn't that b***** awful woman say that all of Scotland wanted to stay in the EU and being forced out was a disgrace?
