THE COMMON FISHERIES POLICY AND BREXIT: IMPLICATIONS FOR SPANISH COMPANIES

This study addresses the analysis of the perception of Galician companies linked to marine fishing, wholesale trade, fish canning, marine aquaculture and processing. An analysis of perceptions of trade in goods, worker mobility, foreign fisheries policy and access to fishery resources is carried out. Inferential analysis is also performed by considering contingency tables based on the factors extracted. The results reflect a majority negative perception of the Brexit process by companies in the Marine Fisheries and Marketing branches of fishery products, with this perception being particularly significant in smaller size companies.
