AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

EU Membership Vote Push: Iceland’s finance minister Daði Már Kristófersson tells Reuters EU membership is vital for the economy and security as Arctic rivalry and trade wars intensify; a public vote on restarting talks is set for Aug. 29, with any deal requiring a second referendum. Whaling Returns: Icelandic whaling firm Hvalur says it will resume fin whale hunts this summer after a two-year gap, aiming at a quota of 150 fin whales, drawing fresh criticism from conservation groups. Rescue Fleet Upgrade: Landsbjörg’s new rescue vessel Sveinbjörn Sveinsson has arrived at its home port in Vopnafjörður after a rough-weather delivery run along the coast. Sports Infrastructure: Reykjavík has selected Iceland Prime Contractor to build a new national sports arena in Laugardalur, a ISK 16.8 billion project meant for teams, schools and major events. Tourism Shift: A new report says Iceland’s tourism boom is still strong, but the strategy is moving from chasing visitor numbers to managing where people go and the impact they leave behind. Puffin Help: On Heimay, locals run nightly “puffling patrols” during Puffling Season to rescue young puffins confused by town lights. Film Spotlight: Blumhouse Atomic Monster and Behaviour Interactive confirm Icelandic director Thordur Palsson will direct the Dead by Daylight movie, with the screenplay already completed.
