Domestic

Dot Facts

  • The Government promotes changes in alcohol law that will provide standardized rules for revocation of liquor license .
  • They propose a dot system where various violations give a different number of dots. Violations can provide 1, 2, 4 or 8 dots.
  • When you get 12 dots shall lead to forfeiture of liquor license for a minimum of one week.
  • forfeiture Tida can be increased if violations are particularly serious, it is revealed violations which together provide more than 12 dots and discretion.
  • Earning Tida is set at two years. The Ministry proposes that the dots will barred consecutively, from the time when the incident that led to the dots took place.

The Socialist Left Party (SV) would like it to be much easier to lose bestow license for issuers for violations of alcohol law. They want discrimination, whether based on skin color or disability will hit hardest.



Dots

Today health and social Committee may make its recommendations for amendments to the Alcohol Act and rules for confiscation of license. They propose two dots of discrimination. Something SV leader Audun Lysbakken believe is too small.

– Although discrimination is not the Alcohol Act heartland, we believe this undermines discrimination entertainment industry as a serious problem. We know that there is discrimination in the Norwegian nightlife both on the basis of skin color and disability, and it is a bigger problem than we choose to believe, says Lysbakken Dagsavisen.



Eight dots

He believes that the government’s proposal is far too mild and will not cause the entertainment industry taking discrimination seriously.

– We lack the tools to crack down on this. It is possible complaint, but it is difficult to reach. Alcohol Act gives us an opportunity to do this through to penalize owners of a club by taking from them the license through dots. This is the most effective, and money is a language everyone understands, which is the result of deterministic easy to lose serving license because of discrimination, he said.

– We believe that it will be good with a national regulations, says Lysbakken.



Reset

According to the proposal which is to hearing, “With two dots”, a nightspot in theory be taken for “repeated discrimination” six times over a two year period without being deprived licensed. It is unacceptable, says SV leader.

– It must sting to be taken for discrimination, he said.

– We are for a higher degree of standardization and the system of endorsements, but we believe the government proposal fall short when it comes number of dots for various violations. This applies in particular “repeated discrimination.” The Government’s proposals are listed under this breach that provides two dots.

During the consultation process meant more consultative bodies that discrimination should frame hard.

Among others thought of Trondheim and Oslo police that repeated discrimination should be imposed against eight dots, while the Ministry of Justice suggested four dots. Some argued against discrimination should be part of the dot system, because discrimination is not in the core area of ​​the Alcohol Act purposes. Ministry of Health land yet to take it in, with two dots as punishment.



Seeking Support

– Do you support the proposal in Parliament?

– It is too early to say, since the proposal is being considered by the health committee. But we go out with this now and hope to get broad support, says Lysbakken.
