This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about the UK's current agreement with the EU regarding fishing rights, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
Your petition calls for talks regarding post-2026 arrangements to be brought forward, but also calls for all EU ships to be banned from UK waters.
We could accept a petition calling on the UK Government to seek to renegotiate fishing arrangements with the EU now, or for EU ships to be banned from UK waters - although this would breach the UK's existing agreement with the EU - but you would need to be clear which of these actions you want the UK Government to take.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
