- It has been our intention all the time to get into a constructive dialogue with the venue owner to maintain the goal of a multi-purpose arena at Fornebu, including activities on artificial turf, says Lisbeth Hammer Krog (H).
She rejects with this criticism was put forward in Budstikka Monday of Diderik B. Schnitler, Chairman of arena owner Kjell Chr. Ulrichsen company Euforum.
- Schnitler know very well
– What do you think about that he characterizes municipal political treatment as weak and tedious?
- Schnitler know very well that there has been a close dialogue between the municipality and venue owner regarding the operation of the TA as multipurpose arena with artificial turf and that I as mayor has been directly involved in this dialogue.

- It has been a process
Hammer Krog will not anticipate what will be the outcome of the planning committee treatment of TA case (see fact box) 15 January.
– This case has circulated in three years. Is not that very long?
- The main thing for us has been to get the grass back to Telenor Arena. It has been a process that has taken its time, and I noted with satisfaction that art rolling grass is now permanently in place at the facility. We have had an ongoing dialogue with the venue owner to put in place as many as possible activities on this grass.
Several items not yet in place
– Why have Euforum to wait for completion has since April?
- The issue is not just about fulfilling regulatory provisions. There have also been several other issues related to some elements of the arena that has not been in place. These conditions should be corrected within a few weeks.

Arena Owner must follow loyally up
– Are you surprised about-face as municipal legal counsel has done in this case?
- Law firm Hjorth has always been concerned about the artificial pitch has been a part of TA. They believed earlier that the hiring was not good enough, and they are still adamant that arena owner must follow up regulatory provisions loyally, when it comes to the practical operation of the plant.
– What do you mean?
- That means Euforum through its operating arrangements and cost allocation does not seek to prevent the arena will be used for activities on artificial turf.
– Are you tired of this case?
- I am concerned that all parties shall comply with regulatory provisions, whether in a small or large business.
