Britain and Norway have signed an agreement to allow fishermen of both countries to continue to fish in each other's waters in case Britain leaves the European Union on Oct. 31, the two governments said on Monday.

The agreement ensures that the existing arrangements based on the EU agreement with Norway will remain in place until the end of 2019.

Arrangements for 2020 onwards are currently being negotiated, the British government added in a statement.
