Minister of Industries and Innovation Steingrímur J. Sigfússon told Fréttablaðið [23.11.12] it is very important that such information is clearly stated.
“This particularly applies to those who hold, or are about to acquire, ruling share in financial companies,” the minister added. “We are currently reviewing the laws on financial companies and are finalizing a bill on amendments to them.”
