Norwegian fish to Russian fishermen
Norway has lifted the ban on fishing of Atlantic-Scandinavian herring outside Svalbard and in the north-eastern parts of the Norwegian Economic Zone.
At the same time Russian fishermen will get 10.000 tons of Norway’s national quota on herring in the area.
This comes as a result of a request from Head of the Russian Federal Fishery Agency Andrey Krayny to Secretary General of the Norwegian Ministry of Fisheries and Coastal Affairs Jørn Krog, GTRK Murman reports.
Krayny requested Krog that he helped to give the Russian fishing fleet normal working conditions outside Svalbard and in the north-eastern parts of the Norwegian Economic Zone.
