Legal process to determine Faroese independence in World Trade Organization membership

A legal process will determine whether the Faroe Islands can become an independent member of the World Trade Organization (WTO). This announcement was made earlier this week by Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.

However, the debate surrounding Faroese membership in the WTO is not solely a legal matter; it is also political in nature, according to lawyer Christian Andreasen.

Niels Winther, director of the Business House, emphasizes that WTO membership would significantly impact both the Faroese economy and consumers.

The matter was discussed during a session of the Breddan, a local forum. For those interested, the entire session is available for listening.
