Bakkafrost should receive a giant fine – case postponed

The case against Bakkafrost has been temporarily stopped.

The Faroese fish farming company Bakkafrost was originally to be fined 67 million – but now the case has been postponed for the time being.

By Redaksjon – Bakkafrost should have a fine. There is no doubt about that, says Bárð Enni, who is head of the Faroese food inspection. But how big the fine should be is another question.

According to what Kringvarpið (the local NRK) understands, the disagreement ranges from 10 million to 67 million kroner. The Attorney General went to court for a fine of NOK 67 million, but now the court has been told by the Norwegian Food Safety Authority to stop the case. The case will now be reconsidered.

Close connections

Bárður Enni says the reason for the stop is that one should consider the size of the fine. The case is described as special and that it is the first of its kind in the Faroe Islands, without it being clear what it is. As far as Kyst.no is aware, this is a violation of the Animal Welfare Act, and the fine will be determined within a few weeks. The newspaper writes that many connections have been revealed between politicians, government officials and Bakkafrost.

Secretary to the Prime Minister, John Rajani is the nephew of Regin Jacobsen, leader of Bakkafrost. And Christian Andreasen, who is the leader of the People's Party, is a lawyer in Bakkafrost. The parties reject the incompetence, but these confusion of roles between Bakkafrost, politicians and the government should be the reason why the case has been postponed, the Faroese newspaper writes.
