Norway and Greenland sign-off on fisheries agreement for 2022
Norway and Greenland are set to continue their cooperation on fisheries as both sides signed off on a new agreement yesterday, Tuesday 30 November.
In a press release, the Norwegian Ministry of Trade and Industry announced that Greenland and Norway have concluded negotiations on a quota agreement for 2022.
Greenland’s quota in the Barents Sea in 2022 is set at 4,000 tonnes of cod, 750 tonnes of haddock, 650 tonnes of saithe and 425 tonnes of by-catch of other species. The Norwegian cod quota is 1,350 tonnes and the halibut quota 30 tonnes.
The blue halibut quota in West Greenland will be continued at 900 tonnes, while the blue halibut quota in East Greenland will increase to 375 tonnes. Due to an uncertain population situation, the non-quota will be reduced to 500 tonnes, the ministry states in the report.
