Preliminary agreement on the Defense – as it looks right now – Aftenposten

the Agreement means among other things that the Air force base on the island of Andøya is laid down, and that the large investments around the F-35 fighter aircraft, submarines and new maritime surveillance aircraft is progressing as planned.

Leader in the Norwegian tourism officers department We believe it is a tragedy to put down the air base.

Politicians do not take decisions on the right basis, and I have zero trust of the parties. I think it is a tragedy that they do not have the confidence of the democracy in Norway, says Stein Håkon Tune to the NTB.

Promises extraordinary measures

At a joint press conference on Tuesday, let both the progress party, Right, and Ap emphasis on the importance of that they have secured a solid majority behind the important, long-term defence investment.

at the same time acknowledge all three of that Era-the decision has been very demanding. The laws of “extraordinary measures” to assist the local community.

It goes on treningsvirksomheten that happens up there, to maintain the airport and omstillingstiltak in the coming years to ensure that society does not get to the major negative consequences as a result of this, said the progress party’s parliamentary leader, Harald Tom Nesvik.

Store: – the data should be quality-assured

Ap-leder Jonas Gahr Støre said that “it is a very important agreement which is now achieved”. The party’s main requirements have been more money for the army and heimevern, strengthened defence capability in the North of Norway and the bill to strengthen the Defence not being pushed out in time.

Støre believes the plan came very late and also pointed out that it’s created uncertainty around kalkylene which is to reason.

– Now we make it very clear that we expect the Government to follow up beregninsgrunnlaget that is done and comes back in the revised budget.

Army helicopters remain on Bardufoss

Pixels it is the plural for that Aftenposten spoke Monday, and as is now confirmed, is:

• That the Army and the home Guard get more money. The amount is 300 million, in addition to that the Defense should get do internal omdisponeringer which releases 90 million (this latter confirmed in a press release from the Right on Tuesday afternoon).
• That the Army’s helicopters in Bardufoss until further notice remain here (they are not moved to the Reverse).
• That immediately begins the investment for a kampluftvern for the Army.

Through the settlement with the Labor party, the Government has been given the green light for large parts of his proposal for a long-term plan (with the exception of what is mentioned in this article.)

chief of staff Haakon Bruun-Hanssen says to NTB that he is satisfied that the Parliament have endorsed the main lines of langtidsplanen for the Defense.

the Decision ensures major investments in new fighter aircraft, submarines and surveillance aircraft that give the Defense relevant kampkraft for the future.

the Three parties with “own long-term plan”

While the conservatives, the progress party and the Labour party are agreed langtidsplanen, the coalition parties agreed with the Left, and the Progress of next year’s defence budget.

We are pleased to have rescued Sjøheimevernet, Kystjegerne, Forsvarskorpsene and HV11 and the base of the Setnesmoen (Åndalsnes) from shutdown to next year, ” says Liberal leader Trine Skei Grande in a press release.

we have been successful with is to press the “pause button” around a series of announced closures until the reported landmaktstudien (for army and heimevern) is ready. And we reserve the right to omkamper about absolutely everything, ” said Trine Skei Grande of the Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten after the agreement became known on Tuesday.

She tells us that the centrist parties of the Left, the Progress and the centre party are going to go together on an alternative long-term plan in the parliamentary process, (the 15. november), and that this is an important issue in the election next year.

Monday could Aftenposten tell that Kystjegerkommandoen – often described as the country’s second-best soldiers for the special forces – are retained.

Still, it is unclear whether the department will be kept as a separate entity, or whether the soldiers and officers linked to the Marinejegerkommandoen.

Not fully in the goal of the Defense yet

With the development Tuesday afternoon, it is clear that there is such a wide settlement for the Defense that the parties have stated that they had wanted to.

the Negotiations in the foreign and forsvarskomiteen about a setting broke quite easily.

That the Government and Labor have come to an agreement ensures that a long-term plan is adopted in Parliament. But there will be new battles for the Defence of both the 15. november, during the campaign ahead of the election in the fall of 2017, and about statsbudsjettene in the years to come.
