However, we know that the transition period of Britain's exit from the EU is less than three weeks before the end of this year, so whether Britain and the EU can finally reach a trade agreement has become a suspense. Since Britain officially left the European Union at the end of this year 1, it has entered a period of depravity. Let's think about it. It has been nearly 10 months since February, and the British Prime Minister has repeatedly said that he will reach an agreement with the EU in the transit zone.
However, after such a long period of negotiations, the two sides still have not reached a final free trade agreement. We can know that neither side actually made the final compromise. In fact, we can see that both sides have the sincerity to reach cooperation, both want to achieve the goal of zero tariff and zero quota, and the two sides finally negotiated the future market competition rules, the quality of rights among workers and the environmental protection standards of goods.
The main reason why Britain and the European Union can't reach a final agreement now is that one of the focuses of the dispute between the two sides-fisheries-has not yet reached a unified view. In fact, Britain hopes that all British fisheries will only serve itself, because Britain's withdrawal from the EU fishery policy means that British fishing areas will only serve British ships. However, the EU hopes that before reaching an agreement, EU ships can only continue to fish in British fishing areas. Perhaps the right to fish is crucial for these two organizations, and the benefits brought by fishing are also crucial.
