We need some clarity on the UNESCO comment. Is it a statement of fact, opinion or recommendation? Whenever investors think there is daylight...
An abuse of process
I understood it was going to be public within Covid limitations.
What a scandal.
The Swedish government have not adhered to their own laws throughout this process. Why would that change now?
What is not clear, as it’s only a translation, is wether that is the Ministry of Trade and Industry’s stance, or a recommendation etc. We need an RNS from KB offering some clarity. Surly this brief report shouldn’t be made available to a poster on FB?
UNESCO? Why not refer it to Santa while they are at it! Not in laponia. End of.
Thanks Pocko. Remember that what Mr Damberg said on the Laponia was that the law is enough...Laponia already has it's buffer zone. And what would anybody mean by "Will be referred to UNESCO"...they've had seven years.
Well done Pocko what would we do without you, very much appreciated ,
From a document issued today by the KU Investigation, despsite what was kindly posted below. (I've translated the Swedish with the exception of the bits which outlines the areas of responsibility for each department). It's being interpreted by the Swedish on FB that the matter will be referred to UNESCO. I don't see it like that, as I understood that UNESCO had already had some input? It would be good for KB to seek instant clarity on this in my opinion.
"The constitutional committee has requested access to documents submitted to the case N2017 / 04553 / FOF since the committee received the file in November 2019.
The documents that have been registered in the lease after 8 November 2019 are attached, see appendix.
In addition, answers to the constitutional committee's supplementary questions in the heading case are left.
1. In response to memoranda on 9 January 2020 and 6 February 2020, in response to the committee's questions, it was reported which preparation measures had then been taken in the matter. What additional preparation measures have been taken in leases since then?
2. Has a new assessment been made within the Government Offices of which additional preparation measures may need to be taken?
3. In response to the memoranda on 6 February 2020, it is stated that the preparation of the case has not been completed. With which other ministries is the matter prepared and in what way does the matter fall within this or these ministerial areas of activity (cf. the Ordinance [1996: 1515] with instructions for the Government Offices?)
The current case is very extensive and complicated. During the preparation of the lease, a unilateral analysis and various observations have been made. This has resulted in a position that the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) should be given the opportunity to assess whether the activities in question have an impact on the world heritage of Laponia. As a smile in the preparations for such a referral, the in-depth impact assessment that Jokkmokk Iron Mines ABB has given into the lease has been translated into English.
Government matters that fall within the areas of activity of several ministries must be prepared in consultation with other government departments. This also applies when a lease is more dependent on a government line within the same ministry. According to the Ministry of Trade and Industry's assessment, the Council of State and the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of the Environment, the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Culture are dependent on the matter."
The rest of the report is copies of emails sent by KB to various government departments. Their responses are appalling quite frankly... I had to laugh at the reference to paternity leave... Of all the excuses
30 November is earlier than expected, there were rumours of January. Good.
Thanks Rune.
I love how they called it a scrutiny report, sounds promising. ATB
Nothing is done quickly in Sweden!
Dear Rune,
There is no open hearing in the Committee on the Constitution concerning Kallak. This examination will be treated behind doors.
You can read the scrutiny report when it is published. The plan is to publish the report the 30 of November.
Sincerely

crikey buster your fist sensible post,
Yes I agree ?
Now that is exciting. A severe ticking off for the Government. One must trust.
1pm Swedish time. So in 20mins ish, although I don't expect any fireworks immediately.
Deadline for answers to the KU Committee by 1300 hrs I think...should be worth waiting for, hope the Committee are impressed, or do I mean I hope they're not.
