Standing Committee on Business approves Norway's 2026 fishing agreements

The Standing Committee on Business and Industry has submitted its recommendation to the Storting on Norway's fishing agreements for 2026 and fishing under the agreements in 2024 and 2025. The committee notes that Norway shares roughly 90 per cent of its fish stocks with other countries through agreements, and that the total catch value of these agreements in 2025 was estimated at approximately 85 billion kroner. A committee majority emphasizes Norway's sovereign right to manage fish stocks in Norwegian waters and criticizes the EU for challenging this right.
