Radio Sweden Weekly: Sweden urged to stop international adoptions

Radio Sweden Weekly discusses two main topics: an inquiry into international adoptions and the declining Baltic herring population. The inquiry proposes phasing out international adoptions due to irregularities like child trafficking and falsified documents, and suggests support for adoptees, including a DNA bank and financial aid for travel to their birth countries. Concerns are raised about the adequacy of the proposed travel benefit. The podcast also covers the decreasing Baltic herring stocks, featuring interviews with fishermen, trawler operators, scientists, and government officials, highlighting conflicts over fishing quotas and the impact on small-scale fishermen and fermented herring producers. Sweden's differing stance within the EU on fishing quotas is also examined.
