On January 30, Oslo (Reuters) -Norwei’s European experience system party party adopted disputes on EU energy policy on Thursday, so that the center left -wing Labor Party ruled alone eight months before the election.
The announcement of the Minister of Finance Trygve Slagsvold Vedum has deprived him of his only league partner Jonas Gahr STOERE and the eight members of the Cabinet, including national defense, finance and judicial minister.
The Labor Party, which has been holding power since 2021, can now rule alone until the next election in September, but lacks most of the seats in the public opinion test and lacks right -wing parties in the parliament.
NATO member Norway is not part of the European Union, but the Labor Party hopes to maintain a good relationship with the European Union, partly due to the threat of trade war between Europe and the United States.
Stere said at a press conference: “In my opinion, this will make the reputation of the agreement (and the European Union) doubtful.”
The Minister of the Government said that the Labor hopes to use the EU instructions through renewable energy consumption, the energy performance of the building, and the improvement of the overall energy efficiency.
The Central Party opposed all three instructions and said that this would erode Norway’s autonomy. For a long time, Norwegian power and natural gas exporters should seek to seek power to regulate the European Union.
Vedum said at a press conference: “For us, the conclusion is part of the central party who does not want to become a part of this development.” “We want to recapture more national control.”
Before the September election, Stoere was still seeking a new term as a labor leader, although he was a question of whether he was the best candidate to lead the party.
Trump tariff
In the voting of the Norwegian in 1972 and 1994, the EU members barely rejected EU members. The problem of joining the group is still one of the most divided political issues in the Nordic countries.
Norway is part of the European Economic Zone (EEA), allowing people, products, services and capital to flow freely between the EU and Non -European countries Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein.
Norway is not an EU Customs Alliance, common agricultural and fishery policies, monetary alliances, trade policies, foreign and security policies, and part of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of the Interior.
However, in order to maintain its current relationship with the EU and ensure the level of competitive environment in its industry, Norway has adopted thousands of EU rules and regulations for decades, and has almost no say to the formulation of its works.
Two -thirds of Norway’s exports are the European Union. The Labor Party said that US President Donald Trump ’s tariff threat and the risk of cross -Atlantic trade war enabled the cultivation of EEA relations and the implementation of instructions from Brussels.
