Friends of the Earth Norway, Forum for Environment and Development (ForUM) and Cermaq agreed on a joint statement on the foundation for sustainable aquaculture. The statement concludes a more than two year-old complaint on Norwegian fish farming activities in Chile and Canada.
The agreement was finalized after mediation in the new contact point for responsible business, Norway's national contact point for the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) guidelines for multinational enterprises.
In 2009, Friends of the Earth Norway and ForUM had filed a complaint against Cermaq, claiming the company had acted in violation with the OECD's guidelines.
