Bring forward 2026 talks and ban EU ships from British waters
British fishermen have access to less fishing quotas than they did before Brexit, a fishing boss has warned (1.) We ask that the government brings forward EU talks scheduled for 2026 and ban Brussels' ships from UK waters.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about the UK's current agreement with the EU regarding fishing rights, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
Your petition calls for talks regarding post-2026 arrangements to be brought forward, but also calls for all EU ships to be banned from UK waters.
We could accept a petition calling on the UK Government to seek to renegotiate fishing arrangements with the EU now, or for EU ships to be banned from UK waters - although this would breach the UK's existing agreement with the EU - but you would need to be clear which of these actions you want the UK Government to take.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
