Ásgrímsson declines to comment 8. júní 2006 10:30 Prime Minister Halldór Ásgrímsson, who is about to step down from his post, is currently meeting with the Polish Prime Minister. At a press meeting he declined to comment on who would be replacing him as head of the Progressive party . Finnur Ingólfsson, former head of the central bank whom many thought would replace Ásgrímsson has decided that he will not be returning to politics. Deputy leader of the Progressive party and Minister of Agriculture Gudni Ágústsson released a statement on Monday night saying that his agreement with Ásgrímsson that both would resign would not stand. Ásgrímsson also declined to comment on Ágústsson's statement, saying, " I am not going to comment on 'Agústsson's statement, I think he has said rather too much and i am not going to comment further until new positions have been decided within the government. Siv Friðleifsdóttir, minister of health would not comment yesterday, but rumours have arisen on her playing a big part in leading the progressive party in the future. Ásgrímsson and President Marcinkiewics discussed the EEA agreement and the participation of polish citizens in the Icelandic workforce. They both expressed their pleasure at the fact that Polish citizens can now seek work in Iceland as freely as other EEA citizens. - amb News News in English Mest lesið Öryggisráðið ákveður að taka yfir Gasa-borg Erlent Dvalarleyfi langtum dýrara í hinum Norðurlöndunum Innlent Hundarnir þegar aflífaðir en ákvörðun um lógun ólögmæt Innlent Keppa við Kínverja og Rússa um að koma kjarnakljúfi til tunglsins Erlent Telja að lífvörður myndi aðeins gera ferðamenn kærulausari Innlent Nauðsynlegt að fólk fái úrræði til að vernda sig frá djúpfölsunum Innlent Sektaður fyrir að aka á 321 kílómetra hraða Erlent Skjálfti fannst á höfuðborgarsvæðinu Innlent Rússar enn að fá „samstöðustyrki“ en Úkraínumenn ekki Erlent Skýrasta myndin af halastjörnunni, eða vopninu, hingað til Erlent
