Britain and the EU are very close to a solution for fisheries

The European Union and the United Kingdom have almost finalized the conditions for the level of access of EU ships to the seas within the exclusive 200-mile economic zone of the United Kingdom, writes the British newspaper Guardian, citing EU sources.
This is a significant step forward in the Brexit negotiations on the rights of European fleets to fish in British territorial waters, the London newspaper notes.
The big progress made Sunday night leaves a Franco-German request to Britain to follow EU rules as the last hurdle in a historic trade and security agreement, the Guardian reports.
