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 this, said meeting management under the Centre Party National Executive Committee Monday.
The problem was that the Centre Party youth leader Erling Laugsand suggested that Q will enter to determine in Statoil preamble that the company will perform in line with global environmental and climate considerations.
It happened during the discussion about the Centre Party policy in relation to the ownership of the economy, not least state ownership.
There have internal tensions in the long reigned about what the party should think about such as Statoil controversial oil sands in Canada. The ongoing also with relish under Party deputy Ola Borten Moe period of Petroleum and Energy.

Ownership of climate upsets
suggestion came when the party’s industrial policy spokesman Geir Pollestad put forward suggestions as to what should be the Centre Party’s ownership policy.
“The Center believes that the state must act as a clearer owns both wholly and partly owned companies … State ownership is a tool to be used in climate and environmental policy. “according to the note Pollestad put forward for discussion.
– Does formulation that state ownership should be used in climate and environmental policy, that Q believes that state on the ownership side of Statoil should end its business with oil sands?
– I believes that at least we should be able to overarching guidelines, clear guidelines on what assessments the Board shall do. But micromanagement is not a good idea, says Geir Pollestad to ABC News.
– the same way that we should have strict requirements on corruption to Norwegian state-owned company set stricter standards than those stated in the country’s environmental policy says Pollestad.
He wanted Sp shall retain Statoil purpose as it is formulated today, something skeptics got removed at Monday meeting.

Government investor paradox
After discussion it was agreed to draw Fellowships Sands proposal to be discussed later.
Party 2. Deputy Anne Beate Tvinnereim wish, however, stronger governance of companies like Statoil, to prevent the driver for example oil sands recovery.
– It is a paradox that the indirect shareholdings in Oil Fund draws us out of business, while we have a worse environmental management in directly owned company. It is also a paradox that state companies with their investments adds up to a wager that climate policy should not succeed, said Tvinnereim the debate.
– We should add up to guidelines also facing Statoil. We must have an aggressive attitude to how we should 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 foregone conclusion, 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, says 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 governmental task owning a small post in a Swedish airline. There is no reason why the state should own Mesta, a contracting company in line with others, argued Pollestad, which got some opposition:
Anne Beate Tvinnereim and Per Olaf Lundteigen want to keep SAS shares.
– Why should we sell us out in Mesta? asked Lundteigen.
– The contractor area there too little competition in Norway. A few companies control the market. They buy up Mesta, the competition becomes even smaller, says MP and farmer from Buskerud.
