Aps health politicians want scheme removed and if adopted, it will be a political majority for a total reorganization of the current arrangement among parliamentary parties, writes Dagens Næringsliv.
– I can not imagine that it should be as important to buy liquor and alcohol when coming home from traveling abroad. It is not fair that international travelers will be able to buy cheaper booze and alcohol than others who do not go abroad, says Labor faction leader in the Health Committee of the Parliament, Tove Karoline Knutsen.
– The whole scheme is the anachronistic. No other European country has duty scheme that Norway, she adds.
However, both trade union Norwegian Civil Service Union (NTL) and Aps transport politicians fear that a shutdown of duty scheme will lead to Avinor lose billions of dollars in lost rent. The fear is that it will again lead to closures of a number of smaller airports in Norway.
– There are large revenues from duty free sales which currently helps to maintain the current structure of Avinor with many airports. Unprofitable airports funded by profitable. Our statement that duty sales will be retained, processed centrally and submitted to LO. It will be part of the LO input to Labor congress, says union secretary in NTL, Tor Erik Granum.
