2012 Norwegian-Russian fishery pact agreed

The fishery collaboration between Norway and Russia builds on mutual trust and willingness to find solutions. This collaboration has long traditions, and the parties have, thanks to its responsible, long-term and sustainable management, worked together to lay the basis for a strong stock situation and growth in most quotas for 2012, according the Minister for Fisheries and Coastal Affairs, Lisbeth Berg-Hansen, commenting on today’s signing of a protocol at the end of the 40th session of the Joint Norwegian-Russian Fisheries Commission.
