Russia Downscales Parts of Fisheries Cooperation Norway and Russia reached a fisheries agreement for 2026 in the annual negotiations late last year. Despite the important agreement, Russia is downscaling parts of the fisheries cooperation.
Norwegian Minister of Fisheries: “Fisheries Negotiations With Russia Are Demanding” Bodø, Northern Norway (High North News): After Norway's introduction of EU sanctions against two Russian shipping companies, the Norwegian-Russian fisheries negotiations have come to a halt after 50 years of cooperation. "It is demanding," says Minister of Fisheries, Marianne Sivertsen Næss (Labor). The parties are now working toward a meeting in the Joint Norwegian-Russian Fisheries Commission, but Næss says they are no closer to setting a date for negotiations.
Continued Uncertainties Regarding Norwegian-Russian Fisheries Negotiations The date for the negotiations in the Joint Norwegian–Russian Fisheries Commission about next year's cod quotas has not been determined. However, the parties have agreed to continue the talks, says the Norwegian Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries.
