"The tribunal found the UK's ban on sandeel fishing in English waters disproportionate, reflecting the complex nature of post-Brexit fishing rights."
"Despite the split ruling, the UK insists its closure of Scottish waters is justified, emphasizing the ruling's validation of its policy decisions."
The arbitration panel's divided ruling addressed a significant post-Brexit fishing rights dispute between the UK and EU regarding sandeel fishing bans. The tribunal deemed the ban in English waters disproportionate and urged the UK to comply, while simultaneously siding with the UK on Scottish waters. This outcome complicates the UK's evolving relationship with the EU. The EU's claims of discrimination and lack of scientific basis for the ban were dismissed by the tribunal. The UK government maintains the ruling supports its position, particularly regarding Scottish waters.
