00:00Well, the context is three deals in a week with the world's fastest growing economy, India, with the world's largest economy, the US, and with our largest trading partner, the EU.
00:11The benefits will be very significant.
00:14Now, when it comes to fishing, we have protected the status quo in terms of the amount of EU fishing in UK waters and the amount of UK fishing in EU waters, which brings us millions of pounds every year.
00:28So the status quo is protected. We have that certainty of knowing what will happen for many years to come.
00:34The previous government had negotiated a deal where 2026, all bets were off and we'd have to renegotiate every year.
00:40No guarantee that would have been to our advantage.
00:44We have put in place a support fund for the fishing industry to help them with things like modernising their fleet, £360 million.
00:52But really importantly, this isn't just about the fishing, it's about where you can sell the product.
00:56And that is the big prize in this deal, is that we will be able to break down bureaucracy, break down barriers to trade, stop our rotting fish at Dover because we can't get it through the checks and balances, and massively increase that trade.
01:10That's right.
01:11How can we do this to work?
01:16Know that we can sell aparece?
01:18Okay.
01:18You know that we're going to get to the safe and reframe.
01:22You know?
01:22You're going to get back to all the fi nimble's funciona.
01:24That's the space.
01:26Yeah.
01:27That's the space for outside funny things.
01:28We go to collegiate his cooperatives, but we've even had to go with each other saying that a little fool tries to stop yang where we call them.
01:33But if you can, the people, how do you do this?
01:35I think it will get ground here in community that's not the one that this year would work on.
