A number of events ask questions in regards to the foundation of figures within the agricultural settlement

The settlement within the agricultural settlement will shortly be submitted to the Storting, however the events there usually are not impressed by the figures the federal government has used.

Phrases comparable to “dishonest numbers” and “smug” are used – and plenty of marvel if the end result of the negotiations will obtain a majority within the Storting.

– It’s tough for me to take a place on an settlement that’s based mostly on a numerical foundation that has no root in actuality, that doesn’t have a majority within the Storting, says SV deputy chief Torgeir Knag Fylkesnes in an e-mail to NTB.

He says that is constitutionally one thing utterly new and problematic.

– Not sufficient to shut the revenue hole

– A authorities that actively will get proposals voted down can not ignore it. There isn’t a rule that states that the federal government’s scheme applies if no proposal has a majority, says Fylkesnes.

The federal government states that the agricultural settlement offers for a rise in revenue of NOK 85,000 per man-year – which is able to imply that the revenue hole between agriculture and different teams may be closed by NOK 60,000.

– When Pollestad says that the revenue improve is NOK 85,000 per man-year, he’s doing so on a numerical foundation that doesn’t have a majority within the Storting, says Rasmus Hansson, enterprise coverage spokesperson for the Inexperienced Occasion.

– The truth is that this settlement is just not sufficient to shut the revenue hole between farmers and different wage earners, he says.

– An undemocratic problem

The Conservative Occasion believes that the federal government’s numerical foundation represents an undemocratic problem.

– It’s problematic that the federal government arrogantly overrules the Storting by basing it on the figures from the report back to the Storting on elevated revenue alternatives in agriculture, although the federal government’s proposal didn’t obtain a majority within the Storting, says agricultural coverage spokesperson within the Conservative Occasion, Lene Westgaard-Halle.

She says that when the end result of the negotiations is to be thought-about within the Storting, the Storting should first determine whether or not they can cope with the end result of the negotiations in any respect.

– Dishonest numbers

Rødt writes in an e-mail to NTB that they imagine the federal government’s figures are based mostly on dishonest figures, which haven’t any parliamentary majority behind them.

– We can not proceed to brighten the figures as a result of they present a tough actuality, it’s a disclaimer of accountability from the federal government, says agricultural coverage spokesperson in Rødt Geir Jørgensen.

KrF chief Olaug Bollestad says she expects the federal government to make sure that the Storting’s intention on an revenue escalation plan is adopted up.

The Liberals say they may initially stand behind a negotiated settlement within the Storting. Alfred Bjørlo, parliamentary consultant for the Liberal Occasion, says they are not looking for fixed rematches in regards to the numerical foundation, however relatively that options are discovered based mostly on the brand new numerical foundation that the federal government has offered.

He reserves the correct that the negotiated settlement is according to the brand new course for agricultural coverage that the Storting laid down within the resolutions regarding self-sufficiency.

– Nicely thought out on the steering that was given

The Labor Occasion, however, believes that the numerical foundation is inside the Storting’s tips.

– We see that the settlement that has now been concluded is properly based on the steering given by the Storting once we just lately handled the technique for elevated self-sufficiency and stepping up revenue in agriculture, says the Labor Occasion’s agricultural coverage spokesperson Solveig Vitanza.

– Can ship the farmers employment contracts

The FRP doesn’t point out something in regards to the foundation of the figures, however is obvious that they don’t seem to be impressed by the results of the agricultural settlement.

– If we proceed on this observe, we would as properly begin sending the farmers employment contracts in AS Norge. It’s fairly clear from the agricultural settlements this authorities has delivered, says agricultural coverage spokesperson within the FRP Bengt Rune Strifeldt.

He says agriculture has change into extra depending on subsidies, and that the federal government is constructing on prime of the deliberate financial system that controls the farmer.
