The ship Fitburg, which was seized by Finnish police last week, will be escorted out of Finland into international waters on Monday, according to the National Bureau of Investigation.
Finland märker ingen minskning av rysk oljeexport genom Östersjön. Däremot har riskerna ökat när skeppen i ”skuggflottan” blir allt skraltigare, och sjönavigation störs ut i den trånga Finska viken. - Det värsta scenariot vore en kollision med en fullsatt Finlandsfärja, säger kommodor Mikko Simola ombord på bevakningsfartyget Turva.
Sweden, Finland, and Norway conduct hunting for seals as trophy hunting. In most other countries, hunting of large marine mammals has been prohibited. In the USA, they have even banned the import of fish from countries that kill marine mammals to protect their fishing industry. Sweden doesn't have much fish to export, so that import ban is unlikely to affect us significantly. However, we hunt a large marine mammal – and that is unique.
