What the new deal says for TRADE:

- Some new checks will be introduced at borders, such as safety checks and customs declarations.
- There are some new restrictions on certain UK animal food products.
What the new deal says for FISHING:
- Over the next five-and-a-half years, the UK will gradually gain a greater share of the fish from its own waters.
- The UK could choose to ban EU fishing boats from 2026, but the EU would be allowed to introduce taxes on British fish in response.
