Deal replaces Norway’s post-Brexit decision to set a catch limit for the EU below its historical fishing rights 

The European Commission and Norway have reached an agreement on a number of outstanding issues in the area of fisheries, including a quota of Svalbard cod to the EU at the level of 2.8274% of the total allowable catch (TAC) for next year and subsequent years. This will allow EU vessels to fish the quota – corresponding to 9,217 tonnes in 2025 – in both Svalbard and international waters.
