Former Morgunblaðið Editor Styrmir Gunnarsson On Why Iceland Should Not Join The EU

Styrmir Gunnarson has been at the forefront of the Icelandic political landscape for nearly half a century, including 36 years as editor of the daily newspaper Morgunblaðið, which has strong ties to the political right in Iceland. As editor of this formerly most influential medium in Iceland, Stymir has been in a unique position to observe and even shape the political discourse in this country.

Since retiring his editorial chops in 2008, Styrmir has been taken a very active part in the local discourse. Among other things, he has published two books, one documenting the collapse of the Icelandic banks ('The Siege'), and another detailing his take on the findings of the Special Investigation Committee's report. He is also an active member of the organisation Heimssýn, "Iceland's 'No to EU' movement, [whose] members agree that Iceland's interests are best served as an independent country outside the European Union.

Founded in 2002 as a cross-political organisation, Heimssýn's goal has remained the same: to keep Iceland outside the EU" (we stole this description off their website).

By your definition what is the EU and what does it do?

The European Union, in my point of view, was formed to prevent further wars on the European continent, after two world wars in the Twentieth century, and many wars in former centuries. That's why it came into being.

Jon Asgeir pays cash to Glitnir estate

Icelandic businessman Jon Asgeir Johannesson has paid the banrupt estate of Glitnir Bank USD 15 million, or around ISK 2 billion.

Head of Glitnir’s resolution committee, Steinunn Gudbjartsdottir confirmed the payment in an interview with RUV. Glitnir is attempting to extract some two hundred billion kronur from Jon Asgeir and his close associates.

The Bank believes the former biggest shareholder still has plenty of assets at his disposal, sourcing an email sent shortly before the bank’s collapse that he had at least 40 billion kronur in British banks.

A London court yesterday confirmed Glitnir’s request to freeze Johannesson’s assets

Iceland cod quota nearly finished: attention turns to haddock

Iceland’s national cod quota for this fishing year, which was 130,000 tonnes, is over 90 percent finished with fully two months left. On the other hand, a quarter of the allotted haddock catch remains.

RUV reports that the roll-over allowance from one year to the next has been reduced from 33 percent last year to just 10 percent. This means it is likely a lot of haddock fishing allowances will go unused this year – although a portion of it will likely go into species transfer (to cod or another species).

The Federation of Icelandic Fishing Vessel Owners is hoping
