UK has banned European vessels from catching the silvery fish species in its North Sea waters.

The EU is challenging the move, arguing it discriminates against Danish vessels that fish sandeel commercially.

Dispute is now heading for a three-day tribunal hearing after formal talks to resolve wrangle failed.

It will mark the first time the two sides have gone to arbitration under the 2021 trade agreement.
