Rosrybolovstvo promised retaliatory measures against Norwegian vessels

Russia will take retaliatory measures against Norwegian fishing vessels if Norway does not reconsider the unjustified ban on fishing in its exclusive economic zone for two Russian companies within a month. This was announced on August 27 by the head of Rosrybolovstvo Ilya Shestakov during an extraordinary session of the joint Russian-Norwegian Fisheries Commission.

"If the Norwegian side does not reconsider its position within a month, Russia will close its exclusive economic zone to Norwegian fishing vessels," the ministry said in a statement posted on its official website.
