OBI: – Pose fee coming – HegnarOnline

This was Trygve Hegnar leader in Finansavisen 5. March 2015.

That the two coalition parties Conservatives and the Progress Party and the two cooperative parties Left and KrF must talk more and better together, everyone understands. Prime Minister Erna Solberg summed therefore meeting in Nydalen that “we have been through a difficult period, but is now ready to build further cooperation.”

Then rattled the four party leaders up their partiers program records, as if it whole was a tired debate program, and Knut Arild Hareide emphasized that there had been “an honest day.”

But, could Hareide tell the press, Progress Party deputy Per Sandberg is not a friend, he takes with skiing and Sandberg parried that he does not know Hareide personally.

An honest day.

One point the four party leaders must have talked about is the budget process until 2016 budget. Prior to 2015 budget would Left and KrF not participate in budget formulation of fear of being identified too much with the budget, but so was the shock and noise when the budget came. This time it is spoken together beforehand.

Nydalen comrades had no specific cases to refer to, but they actually had a good opportunity to show vigor and contemplation, for they could there and then have decided to abolish bag fee to be introduced from March 15th.

Trine bag or Jensen bag coming, and each bag should cost 1.50.

It was in the late night hours under budget negotiations that bag fee came to the table to the consolidated state budget by 1 billion. An amount of less than one thousandth of government revenue.

Norway has had a bag fee earlier (in 1974), but it was abolished after a few months.

Politicians undertook a nicely retreat .

It could have happened in Nydalen Tuesday this week, but there was much blablabla.

The problem with Trine bag is that it is hardly possible to see some positive environmental effect. Plastic bags for garbage storage must most have, and nothing suggests that all these plastic bags are lying and flow of nature. On the contrary, it has been documented that most plastic bags are recycled or incinerated. Other types of bags are worse.

In a little over a week we will therefore pay for plastic bags, without giving anything in particular contributions to the treasury or the environment. The only tangible effect is that some people bring a backpack or bag to shop, and they buy maybe rolls of plastic bags to the garbage storage at home.

Had the four partners had an honest day’s work, they could acknowledged the mistake grip and abolished bag fee before being introduced.

Particularly annoying will bag fee be for Progress Party voters, it is precisely such small and trifling fees party should remove. Instead, we need every day carry Jensen bag home, having paid 4.3 million.

The parties shall have talked about police reform, municipalities form, a state veiselskap and vehicle taxes as well, but not to plastic bag levy.

Moreover spent Knut Arild Hareide press conference to remind you that he will not have Sunday shopping. Knowing that the number of Sunday opening stores steadily increasing, and that the grocery chain that is strongest against Sunday opening stores (Norway Group), constantly opening new stores Sunday (Brustad-loops). Stores like Hareide often acting when the need is there.

An honest day.
