The reason for this animosity between the two Scandinavian neighbours is that Norway has barred EU fishing vessels from its waters in the aftermath of a last-minute Brexit deal reached between London and Brussels, leading to losses for Danish fishermen.
Danish fishermen have called on their government in Copenhagen to block Norway’s access to the EU fish market through Denmark to stop the current one-lane traffic, in which Danish vessels are banned from Norwegian waters, yet Norwegian fish continues to be offloaded at Danish harbours.
Norway s block on EU fishing vessels keeps Danish boats in port Reuters 1/21/2021
COPENHAGEN/OSLO, Jan 21 (Reuters) - Norway is withholding permits for British and most EU fishing vessels to catch fish in its North Sea waters while post-Brexit talks between Norway, the EU and Britain are ongoing, leaving many Danish fishing vessels moored idly in ports.
Non-EU member Norway warned in December it could deny EU fishing vessels access to its waters, after annual talks between Norway and the EU on fishing quotas were held up by protracted Brexit negotiations between London and Brussels.
Under its Brexit trade deal Britain agreed a 5-1/2 year period to phase in new rules on what EU boats can catch in British waters. However, new catch certificates, health checks and customs declarations have hampered trade for British fishermen.
