AGP Executive Report

Last update: 37 minutes ago

EU Accession Debate: Iceland’s foreign minister Þorgerður Katrín Gunnarsdóttir urged the EU to “be careful” about any new membership terms that delay full voting rights, ahead of a 29 August referendum on reopening accession talks. Public Opinion: A Gallup poll finds 52% of Icelanders would vote to restart EU negotiations if held today, with support highest among under-30s and pro-EU party voters. Whaling Update: Iceland has resumed commercial whaling after a two-year pause, with two fin whales reportedly killed in the opening days, drawing criticism from conservation groups. Youth Gambling Concern: A University of Iceland survey says around 40% of upper secondary students gambled in the past year, with researchers calling for stronger prevention as loneliness and mental wellbeing issues rise. Local Tech in Agriculture: A Þorlákshöfn golf course is using a fertiliser-spreading drone as a cheaper, test-backed alternative to specialised machinery. National Opera Moves Ahead: Iceland’s National Opera has appointed six singers for its first full season, including a March 2027 production of Verdi’s Falstaff. Safety & Incidents: Police logged 76 incidents overnight, including a serious assault at a sports bar and arrests, plus reports of suspected rental scams.
