Entry into force of trade measures against the Faroe Islands
The trade measures against the Faroe Islands, which were adopted last week by the European Commission, are entering into force on Wednesday 28th August. These measures include the prohibition of imports of Atlanto-Scandian Herring and the associated species of mackerel into the European Union, as well as the prohibition of use of European Union ports by Faroese vessels that fish for these species and by other vessels transporting fish and fishery products stemming from herring or mackerel that have been caught under the control of the Faroe Islands.
