The government has announced a permanent end to mink farming, delivering a final blow to an industry that has spent years in a state of terminal uncertainty. While the Mink Association expressed surprise at the sudden finality, farmers say they were misled by a government that promised a future it had no intention of delivering. Copenhagen Airport spent the morning proving that new security procedures only work if the people using them are told they exist. Airlines were reportedly not warned of the changes, leading to the kind of terminal chaos that left 200 passengers watching their flights depart from the wrong side of the security gate. The business sector has noted that despite government pledges to reduce red tape, the administrative burden on companies is growing. It appears the state is finding it easier to promise efficiency than to practice it.
