The planned take of 500 whales, including sei and fin during a 2 year period, have been cancelled, due to a strong domestic criticism combined with the lack of a market for whale products. A total of 36 minke whales have been caught since last year when Iceland, despite massive global protests, resumed whaling again for the first time in 14 years. (1) -This is as close to a victory as we could have hoped for, said Greenpeace spokesperson Frode Pleym. The Government of Iceland has made a wise decision, that will benefit the Icelandic people in the future. By choosing a truly sustainable future path, Iceland sets an example for other whaling nations to follow. The market for whale meat is small and decreasing in whaling nations Iceland, Norway and Japan due to changed eating habits and the level of environmental toxins in the whale products. Iceland still has an ample supply of whale meat left since last years take and no future market in sight.

CHAPTER 7: INVESTMENT CLIMATE STATEMENT There is no automatic screening of investors, although bidders in privatization sales may have to go through a pre-qualification process. The government usually sets aside a portion of shares in privatization sales for small investors, which tends to favor Icelandic citizens over foreigners. Potential U.S. bidders in privatization auctions need to follow the process closely, since the procedures are often ad hoc and deadlines can be short.

Extractions: Save a personal copy of this article and quickly find it again with Furl.net. It's free! Save it. There is a growing demand in Iceland for easier access to information. Important developments and changes in records management have occurred in recent years. These developments have opened the eyes of managers within both public and private organizations to the need for quick and secure access to records in any form, old and new. The most important of these changes are the Icelandic government's policy (April 1995) recognizing the information society, the Freedom of Information Law that came into effect January 1997, and the foundation in 1988 of the Icelandic Records Management Association (IRMA). Iceland, like other countries, has now entered the century of the information society, and the demand for information and records management is constantly growing. Therefore, the government of Iceland has issued The Icelandic Government's Vision of the Information Society, which addresses issues of the information society in an attempt to ensure that all citizens have the right to enjoy full and equal access to information.

Iceland still has an ample supply of whale meat left since last years take and no future market in sight. The growing domestic opposition also came as a surprise to the Government. The Icelandic tourist association and the whale watching operators have made it clear that a restart of whaling in Iceland will damage the reputation of the nation and decrease the amount of tourists visiting. Tourism has become one of the major sources of income in Iceland in recent years and whale watching attracts around 72,000 tourists yearly and is worth more than $14.6 million USD a year to the Icelandic economy.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_630000/630961.stm

Extractions: Einar Arnason, Professor of Genetics It has never been done before and no-one really knows how successful it will be, but it has already divided the country and now the whole world is watching and waiting. The Icelandic Government has given a licence to a US-funded corporation to set up a genetic catalogue using the medical records on each and everyone of the country's 270,000 citizens. The information will be stored in a single, computerised database. The information is valuable because Iceland is probably the most homogeneous society in the world. There has been little immigration since the first Vikings arrived almost 1000 years ago. Icelanders are passionate about their unique identity and very many of them have traced their family trees.

Extractions: Fischer's troubles began after his Yugoslav rematch with Spassky Extending the hand of friendship to a man viewed as a paranoid recluse with extreme views may seem a puzzling move. It becomes even more inexplicable when to do so could earn you the disapproval of the US, a powerful enemy. Yet Iceland has awarded citizenship to ex-chess champion Bobby Fischer in recognition of a 30-year-old match that put the country "on the map". His historic win over Russian Boris Spassky in Reykjavik in 1972 shone the international spotlight on Iceland as never before. Now Iceland is keen to repay the favour by offering sanctuary to Mr Fischer, an American citizen. The chess player has been detained in Japan since July for trying to leave on an allegedly revoked US passport. He is also wanted in the US for violating international sanctions against the former Yugoslavia by playing there in 1992.
