As previously reported, in April 2024 the EU had submitted a written request for consultations with the UK under the dispute settlement mechanism of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) regarding the UK’s decision to prohibit the fishing of sandeel in UK waters. On 25 October 2024, the EU announced that “consultations concluded without reaching such a mutually agreed solution” and has now requested the establishment of an Arbitration Tribunal under the dispute settlement mechanism of the EU–UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) concerning the UK’s decision to prohibit the fishing of sandeel.
