Deal or no deal

According to reports a deal between the eu and the u.k. is conditional on issues of governance, fishing rights and a level playing field for business. On governance issues, chiefly the u.k don’t wish to reform their banking legislation, reportedly the main reason for their exit from the eu. Governance issues may include conforming to eu standards in other areas, such as social welfare for instance. Britain has the lowest unemployment benefit in the eu. Another area concerning the eu according to media is fishing rights. Obviously Europe will have no future fishing rights in British waters, so are the real issues being papered over?

Britain’s concerns, apart from tariffs are what the uk term as northern Ireland protocol. Seemingly no border between north and south, or hard border as described. A permeable border has been suggested by the Irish government.
