Wave
After the emergence of delingsøkonomi in Norway, with the major international actors Airbnb and Uber, it has become evident that the existing regulations are not sufficient.
the Drivers relating to the bildelingstjenestene Uber and Haxi has been brought to justice for violations of, among other things yrkestransportloven. In both cases, the drivers acquitted.
” We have had a very fast growing wave of people who use delingsøkonomi, and some large companies that almost have seemed irresistible. In Europe, the authorities have been unusually quickly on the path, so it will be interesting to hear what the committee has come forward to, ” says Tore Tennøe, director, Norwegian board of technology.
Selection as to the report was put down early in 2016 by the Norwegian minister of finance Siv Jensen.
– It is very surprising if they do not mention the transport sector. Apartments and cars are the most expensive the majority owner, so it is natural that this is where the delingsøkonomien comes first, ” says Endresen in Uber.
Regulation in Europe
the Norwegian board of technology has, together with the european partners had a separate study on how the status of delingsøkonomien is in 17 countries.
Tore Tennøe, director, Norwegian board of technology.
It shows that it is received in very different ways by the authorities.
– the Chart shows that when it comes to accommodation, so it’s mostly legal, but within passenger transport, there are more restrictions, ” says Tennøe.
He thinks that some of the reason is that the field of transport dolls up issues regarding working conditions in addition to competition considerations.
In London has, like in Norway, found out that Uber app, not a criticism. Thus, bildelingstjenesten legal in the English capital.
– England will be a forefront, but it has been a discussion whether the drivers are employees or “mikroentreprenører”. According to the court, the employees, in contrast to what Uber itself says, so the case is appealed, ” says Tennøe.

Airbnb
Here in Norway, both the police and the tax authorities had actions against Uber. It is especially the service Uber Pop, which individuals can run from one place to another for a fee, that Norwegian law enforcement authorities have acted on.
Airbnb has not rushed like a lot around in Norway as other places, but there have been fears that the service may be helping to push house prices up.
Some cities have introduced restrictions on how long one can rent out an entire apartment, and in New York it is for example not allowed to rent out the accommodation whether you are on holiday.
In Berlin, you must get permission from the bymyndighetene to be allowed to rent out a whole apartment.
– the Norwegian authorities can now look towards many other countries and choose a type of regulation that they believe works best. It will be exciting to see which countries they choose to follow, ” says Tennøe.
hotel Industry
A master thesis from the Norwegian School of economics concluded that Airbnbs entry have reduced the hotels in Oslo’s revenues.
The estimate that the hotels ‘ turnover would have been nok 132 million higher if Airbnb did not exist in 2016. About Bergen and Tromsø are included, rising the number to 240 million.
– We expect further growth and new types of services within the delingsøkonomien, so it will probably be a need for a continuous development of the regulations, ” says Tennøe.
