[@tomasvrabec1845]

@@jont2576 i mean not quite. Socialism is about the state or the community being the owner of production/distribution/exchange of goods. Communism is about the state or community to own all property, not just production/selling. So really it is far from communism as no one is doing what communism is defined by. It is social, I'll give you that, but in no way some form of something extreme. I mean... It just states that "someone whom we welcome to work with gets a great trade deal as long as their food is good enough for our standards" In which case it is also quite capitalist... But rather than an individual it is a national level. So a nation basically secures its self the vest quality food at the best price from another nation. A very basic trade from one party to another. The reason it looks so socialist is because usually both parties want to get the best quality food and so they make a mutual agreement... Nothing commie there.

The thing is, if the quotas in British waters go to British vessels that is all they ask, never mind tens of thousands of employees. There is of course also the question what happens with the processing industry, which also suffers in the U.K. The old “problem” that you can’t sell the fish unless you are a member of the EU is just rubbish, Norwegians sell their fish all over the world, in addition to the EU of course, no problem. After U.K. went in to EU in 1972 the fishing industry has gone one way; down, down and further down.
