EU shoots itself in foot as UK fishermen discover 'cheaper and quicker' get entry to to Asia markets

THE European Union has been blasted for the mountain of paperwork fishermen have to complete in order to export to the trading bloc.


Scottish fisherman Jamie McMillian informed the BBC that his crew spends three hours each and every morning completing paperwork for the European Union. He added that he now exports to markets in the Far East as it is "cheaper and quicker" than exporting to France following Brexit.


Mr McMillian said: "The paperwork is just madness.


"It is such a waste of paper, a waste of time, a waste of the environment, and a waste of cost.


"That is three hours' work each morning that we export to the EU.


"Three hours' work to do all that paperwork."


He added: "In easy terms exports to China, Singapore or Hong Kong is less expensive and export there than it is to France.


"So we are pushing sales in the UK and pushing sales in the Far East to attempt and compensate for what we have lost from Europe."


June Mummery has been a vocal critic of the fishing terms the UK secured in the post-Brexit trade settlement with the EU.


The former Brexit Party MEP shamed the UK Government for securing "awful" terms for the UK fishing industry.


The ex-Brexit Party MEP additionally criticised Boris Johnson's Brexit negotiating team, describing the fishing terms outlined in the deal as the largest failure of the agreement.


She outlined a lack of preparation and misinformation as contributing elements to the poor terms for Britain's fishing industry.


June Mummery said: "They are by no means going to get anywhere.


"This is the largest failure they have done.
