The first #Grindadráp of the summer is set to begin in #Leynasandur , #FaroeIsland.

Parliament wants more power regarding association of third countries to EU programmes and threatens to block agreements with #NewZealand and #FaroeIsland as well as future agreements with #Canada and #Japan
A leading MEP has said the European Parliament cannot consent to the Horizon Europe association agreement with New Zealand going ahead as it stands, because it would cut MEPs out of negotiations in future framework R&D programmes.
