The batch was first stopped by German customs in Hamburg, where the containers were unloaded and then sent back via Rotterdam in the Netherlands. ‘Transportation of products between Iceland and Japan is in accordance with international law,’ Foreign Minister Gunnar Bragi Sveinsson told RUV. Iceland ‘will now consider how to react to the transport of whale products being stopped and will stand firmly on Icelandic interests in this matter,’ he added.”
