BRUSSELS has been ordered to have a major rethinking of fishing to help unblock the Brexit stalemate.
UK negotiators are convinced that the current tactics of top Eurocrat Michel Barnier do not “cut”, undermining hopes for a trade deal.

Teams of officials will work in a room called The Cave, a basement in the Department of Business, as the UK promises not to “sell” our sovereignty.
Insiders say this week may turn out to be the last week of negotiations and leaving without a deal is “undervalued.”
Officials say there is still a significant gap in fishing rights after Barnier revealed that it would return only 15 to 18 percent of the UK quotas in our own waters.
Currently, the EU catches almost half of the fish in our waters and the UK tells them “repeatedly” that the situation must change.
A government source said: “These figures are laughable, and the EU knows very well that we would never accept it.
“It appears that the Commission has failed to internalize the scale of change needed as we become an independent nation.”
Talks between Mr Barnier and his British counterpart Lord Frost in London are trying to bridge differences over fishing rights, state aid and governance issues.
Britain is set to leave at the end of the year with an Australian-style deal.
