It seems a very odd situation that allows fishing boats based in France and Spain to trawl waters off of Scotland and for Scottish boats to Fish off Normandy. The fuel cost alone for a Scottish Trawler round trip would be around £40K minimum
The backdrop
Surely its better for local trawlers to fish local waters, meaning the French fish Normandy and the Scotts fish Scotland. I think the EU argument is that would leave the UK better off given that EU fishing quotas are shared.
Seeing the humorous side, I'm not sure I'd be ramming a huge Scottish trawler with a steel hull in my little wooden boat.
