The Centre Party’s National Executive Committee had to be canceled when Senterungdommen would have resolutions that the group is committed to environmental and climate considerations.
GARDERMOEN (ABC NEWS) – Where Do We Go Now?
We need to take a break and discuss it, said meeting management under the Centre Party’s National Executive Committee Monday.
The problem was that the Centre Party youth leader Erling Laugsand suggested that Sp will enter to determine the group’s mission statement that the company will perform in line with global environmental and climate concerns.
It happened during the discussion of the Centre Party policy in relation to the ownership of the business, especially state ownership.
There have internal stresses in long reigned about what the party should think about such as Statoil’s controversial oil sands in Canada. It was going well with relish under Sp-deputy Ola Borten Moe period of Petroleum and Energy.

Ownership of the climatic difficulties
suggestion came when the party’s industrial policy spokesman Geir Pollestad put forward proposals for what should be the Centre Party’s ownership policy.
“The Center believes that the state must act as a clearer own both wholly and partly owned companies … State ownership is a tool to be used in climate and environmental policy. “, says the note Pollestad presented for discussion.
– Does the wording of that state ownership is to be used in climate and environmental policy, the Party, the state of the ownership side of Statoil should end its business with oil sands?
– I believe that we certainly should be able to level guidelines, clear guidelines on what assessments the Board to do. But micromanagement is not a good idea, says Geir Pollestad to ABC News.
– Just as we should have strict requirements on corruption, the Norwegian state-owned company set stricter standards than those stated in the country’s environmental policy says Pollestad.

State’s investor-paradox
After discussion it was agreed to draw Fellowship Sands proposal to be discussed later.
Party 2. Deputy Anne Beathe Tvinnereim want to be stronger corporate governance of companies Statoil, to prevent the driver such as oil sands.
– It is a paradox that the indirect ownership in Oil Fund draws us out of business, while we have a worse environmental management in directly owned company. There is also a paradox that state companies with their investment adds up to a wager that climate policy should not succeed, said Tvinnereim the debate.
– We should add up to the guidelines also to Statoil. We must have a proactive approach to how to exercise ownership, she concluded.
Towards mixing politics and business
1. Deputy Ola Borten Moe is more reserved on the question of the state as the owner will come in and set too much.
– We have a public ownership that has been a success. It is by no means a matter of course, he said.
– One of the reasons is that we have had a distinction between what is policy and what’s shop. We must have a neat relationship between the exercise ownership and to drive policy. The moment a politicize state ownership, ownership may be difficult to handle, think Borten Moe.
– why should we not sit in Parliament and have opinions about what Statoil, Stakraft, Hydro and Yara to do around the past, he said.
– State sales mean less competition
The memorandum of state ownership as Pollestad presented, going on to sell SAS, but keep the Airport Express on state hands. The party wants to increase the state’s dominance in DNB from 34 to 49 per cent.
In Telenor Sp up to 67 percent state ownership, the current 53.97.
suggestion that received broad support in the national executive committee meeting, will increase its stake in Hydro and Yara, and retain the 67 per cent of Statoil. It opposes the government’s decision to privatize the State’s properties.
– It is not a government job owning a small post in a Swedish airline. There is no reason why the state should own Mesta, a construction company in line with others, argued Pollestad, who received no opposition:
Anne Beathe Tvinnereim and Per Olaf Lundteigen want to keep SAS shares.
– Why should we sell ourselves out in Mesta? asked Lundteigen.
– The contractor area is far too little competition in Norway. A few companies control the market. Buying the up Mesta, the competition becomes even less, says MP and farmer from the county.
The case is updated with that it was agreed to defer consideration of Fellowship Sands suggestions
