“The meeting confirms that Russian and Norwegian fisheries authorities still are in a position to cooperate well.
- Møtet bekrefter at russiske og norske fiskerimyndigheter fortsatt samarbeider godt.
The work on illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing in the Barents Sea was a central issue in the meeting between Krajnij and Minister of Fisheries and Coastal Affairs Pedersen.
Arbeidet med ulovlig, urapporterte og uregulert fiske i Barentshavet var et sentralt tema på møtet mellom Krajnij og fiskeri- og kystminister Pedersen.
“Thorough analyses by the Directorate of Fisheries show that overfishing of cod in the Barents Sea has been reduced by 50 percent from 2006 to 2007.
- Et meget grundig analysearbeid i Fiskeridirektoratet viser at overfisket av torsk i Barentshavet er halvert fra 2006 til 2007.

Etter vårt møte i dag, er jeg overbevist om at dette samarbeidet vil fortsette i samme gode spor, avslutter fiskeri- og kystminister Helga Pedersen.
The Norwegian-Russian fisheries cooperation Norwegian-Russian cooperation on fisheries was formalized 33 years ago through agreements on cooperation in the fisheries sector and mutual fisheries cooperation.
Det norsk russiske fiskerisamarbeidet Det norsk-russiske fiskerisamarbeidet ble formalisert for 33 år siden, gjennom avtaler om samarbeid innen fiskerinæringen og om gjensidig fiskerisamarbeid.
The two agreements are reciprocal and balanced agreements for regulating common fish resources and the exchange of quotas for national stocks.
De to avtalene er gjensidige og balanserte avtaler om regulering av felles fiskebestander og bytte av kvoter på nasjonale bestander.
The joint Norwegian-Russian Fisheries Commission has determined total quotas and distributed quotas between Norway, Russia and third parties for 33 years.
Den blandete norsk-russiske fiskerikommisjonen har i 33 år fastsatt totalkvoter for og fordelt kvotene mellom Norge, Russland og tredjeland.
The commission also determines reciprocal access to each other’s zones and exchanges quotas both within common stocks and national stocks.
