Faroes and Iceland open talks on fisheries rights

The Faroe Islands and Iceland have begun negotiations on a fisheries rights agreement for 2027, KVF reports. The first meeting was held in Tórshavn last week.

The sides have agreed to hold a digital meeting later in November or in early December, Janet Skarðsá, chief negotiator for the Ministry of Fisheries, said.

The agreement has remained largely unchanged for many years, but Iceland now wants revisions. The two countries have had no agreement in place since 1 August.
