The UK's ban on European vessels fishing for sandeel in North Sea waters aims to protect marine wildlife, but the EU argues it discriminates against Danish fishermen.
This upcoming arbitration represents the first significant trade battle since Brexit, highlighting ongoing tensions between the UK and EU in managing shared marine resources.
Sandeel is crucial as it sustains various marine life including cod and threatened seabirds, showcasing the environmental stakes of the trade dispute.
If the tribunal rules against the UK, it could lead to retaliatory tariffs on British exports, emphasizing the potential economic consequences of the ruling.
