Abstract

The April 1999 issue of the Common Property Resource Digest contains an article by Gisli Palsson “Individual transferable quotas: unconstitutional regimes?” where the author contends that ITQs are unconstitutional. In his article Palsson gives an account of the Supreme Court decision in December 1998, where the Court had finds a certain aspect of the Fisheries Management Act, Article 5 on fishing licensing, unconstitutional. The Court in its decision declared that the licensing requirement was too restrictive and therefore unconstitutional according to articles 65 (equality before the law) and 75 (freedom to work) of the Icelandic constitution. Article 5 of the law had limited licensing to those fishing vessels (and their replacements) that were in operation in 1988.
