Finland launches its EPR and pushes back Russian citizens, return of mink farms to Denmark

Areva’s EPR is finally operating at full power in Finland, after a twelve-year delay. From December, it should be able to supply 1,600 megawatts, which will make it the third most powerful installation in the world. Finland thus hopes to spend the winter warm, despite the shortage of Russian gas. Russians who are no longer welcome in Finland. “The entry of Russian citizens into our territory endangers our international relations“, said Pekka Haavisto, the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Of the countries that are part of the Schengen zone, only Norway remains opened to Russians holding a European visa.

Their farms are still there, but the cages of the mink farmers remain desperately empty. In Denmark, they will however be able to resume their activities on January 1. In 2020, they had to slaughter all their livestock to fight against the spread of Covid. The legality of these slaughters is also still being debated before the Danish courts.
