AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

EU Referendum Watch: Overseas voting has opened for Iceland’s Aug. 29 referendum on whether to resume accession negotiations with the EU, with voters told the ballot is about reopening talks—not joining the EU—and that embassies/consulates have different opening hours and requirements. Whaling & Activism: Iceland seized the anti-whaling vessel Bandero and detained its crew in Reykjavík after an encounter tied to a fin-whale hunt; the Captain Paul Watson Foundation says crew remain confined and disputes legal status details, while police say festivalgoers were never in danger during a separate firearms incident at Þjóðhátíð. Solar Eclipse Logistics: Organisers will close the Bolafjall road to private cars on Aug. 12 and run paid shuttles to the viewing area above Bolungarvík to prevent congestion and keep emergency access clear. Weather: Reykjavík saw its wettest July in decades, while Akureyri and parts of the north stayed unusually dry; today brings up to 20°C in the south but gusty conditions in the east. Transport Safety: The mayor of Dalabyggð warns a heavily used stretch of the Westfjords Road is dangerously degraded and resurfacing has been pushed back, raising accident concerns. Telecom Costs: Siminn announced September price increases across mobile and broadband services. Business/Industry: Atlas Air has completed a deal to take a 49% stake in Air Atlanta, expanding widebody cargo capacity via leased freighters.
