Editing by Emelia Sithole-Matarise Up to 45% of Denmark's fishing capabilities could be reallocated to Britain, according to a Copenhagen University report commissioned by the Danish Government. Between 2012 and 2016, the Danish have fished British waters to an estimated value of £83m to £119m. The UK government has said it will not accept any proposals that would see its fishermen lose access to EU waters. Although Britain has said it plans to allow foreign ships into its waters, it reserves the right to decide the extent, and is likely to use this as leverage in upcoming negotiations.
