(Dagbladet): After months of harsh words and negotiations were Left and KrF agree with the Conservatives and the Progress Party on asylum children deal last week.
Now, they only agree on what they have agreed.
Dagbladet writes today, then Left and Progress a far different understanding of what they have agreed. The Left believes, will be a liberalization of rules for family reunification. While FRP have celebrated this as a tightening.
– Are you willing to go with that refugees can submit an application in Norway, as the Left mean? asks Dagbladet FRP’s Per Sandberg.
– No, is the answer.
– There is only one way to understand this. We have promoted five austerity proposals. Today regulations change from twelve to six months. This was clearly so also Hareide expresses, says Sandberg Dagbladet.
Left understands it differently
This is the disagreement about: Today is the deadline to apply for family reunification one year from the day a family member has been granted residence in Norway. The new agreement aims for the deadline shortened to six months.
Today there are family members abroad who must submit the application. If the father has been granted residence in Norway, will mother and child now have one year to get to a Norwegian embassy and deliver their application. Or six months after the new agreement.
But Left understands it differently.
– We have assumed that a six-month deadline must apply for refugee in Norway. It was in our opinion not clear and is our understanding of the agreement. Who deadline applies to adjustable regulation. Otherwise we are also involved in the monitoring of agreement points and agree that we will follow this up, writes immigration policy spokesman in Liberal Other N. Skjelstad in an email to Dagbladet.
Who then have six months to apply, thus understood differently by the parties. And who seek decides whether the agreement becomes a tightening of rules for family reunification, which will FRP, or liberalization.
– It emerges not clear if the four parties in the meeting had a common understanding of this, communication manager at KrF, Mona Hovs Dagbladet.
– A larger change than agreed
But according to the Department of Justice will open for submitting applications in Norway, as the Left say, mean a major change than what they have agreed. Undersecretary Joran Kallemyr (FRP) says that today is obvious that there are family members abroad to apply for family reunification.
– For it is in regulation, he says to Dagbladet.
– How Immigration is today, the applicant family who want reunification with reference person who is in Norway. I can not exclude that this change, but it will mean a major change of this regulation than what was agreed in the agreement says Kallemyr Dagbladet.
Dagbladet asks KrF preside if they knew when they signed, that the deadline currently apply to family members abroad, not the person who has been granted residence in Norway. When responding KrF leader Knut Arild Hareide:
– Agreement text does not specify this. The important thing for KrF that the matter be investigated, writes Hareide in an SMS via their communications consultant.
This means disagreement
And why is this a significant disagreement? Jo because, as a refugee organization Seif points out, it can be difficult for family members abroad to reach a Norwegian embassy to submit an application. If you are a refugee in Syria, for example, and a family member has been granted residence in Norway. Then you have now one year (or six months after the new agreement) to get you to a Norwegian embassy. Today we have no Norwegian embassy in Syria. So you have to take out of the civil war-torn country – and for example to the embassy in Turkey. Now six months.
If it is already in Norway can only submit your application, then it becomes according Seif much easier to apply for family reunification.
Who should submit the application?
They agree on one thing, the Justice Department and the Liberals. That they will be discussing the matter and agree:
– We have agreed that we will now deal with these questions in the new regulations, before it goes off on hearing, says Kallemyr Dagbladet.
But Sandberg, FRP’s deputy, is thus not willing to go with the Liberal interpretation.
