Russia has set a one-month deadline before the measures are implemented, but if the conclusion is as proposed, it is a heralded ecological disaster.
The Norwegian-Russian fishery cooperation has survived every East-West conflict and is considered one of the most important international agreements on food resources.
Russia and Norway have agreed on cod quotas, even during the Cold War, to safeguard a viable cod stock, to the benefit of all of Europe.
Already noticeable
The agreement does not just ensure food on European dinner plates, but also for the Norwegian fisheries industry, providing settlement along our entire coast. In recent years, cod stocks have declined, and quotas have been reduced.
Lower quotas have also been heralded for next year, and the consequences for the fisheries industry are already noticeable.
