The UK remains in discussion with Norway on bilateral quota exchanges for 2021 across a range of stocks, including Arctic stocks. In conducting these discussions, the Government considers the interests of the entire UK and associated industries.

The Government will continue to work with all our fishing fleets and processors, so that they can take advantage of future opportunities.
