There's nowt so queer as folk, Ibjj, you should know that coming from Yorkshire.

I'm not assuming anything...what's your thinking about their search for independent advice?

No, it isn't Wotitsworth... an open door to do nothing, the approach to UNESCO will have consequences.

Aug...Mrs Modig's letter was about the Mining Industry's future prospects in Sweden and not specifically about Kallak...the UNESCO business 'out of the way'. :-)

What did you expect would happen, Wotitsworth? The debate is on record, he hasn't got away with it.

Sorry I mistook you for someone else with a similar name, sun'e shining in my eyes..can't be bad it's a long time since it's been shining at all.

Don't understand why you're being negative again Rune1...thought you'd gone off to China.

Sorry...it wasn't you, was it. But it's a shambles that's about to be sorted imo.

Don't understand why you're being negative again Rune1...thought you'd gone off to China.

Who are you calling dullards, Aug...you can't counter something if you don't know it's happening. This UNESCO business has only just come to light, KB has played his part and now we just have to let it play out...the final act I hope.

Yes she did a bloody good job.

I don't think he actually wants to say No...but he has his orders and we don't know exactly why or what.

Last time she spoke she said told the Minister she didn't know whether to laugh or cry at treatment this Application has received by the Government...this time she actually did cry.

But of course saying we will work very hard to get progress is what they've been saying for years and doing nothing...but it's crunch time now and there is an expectancy in the Riksdag.

She was dynamite...well done Mrs Modig.

Yes, she is, she's dedicated to her Constituency...I practically feel half Swedish myself after all these years, I was looking for an interesting project when I first bought this and it's certainly been that.

Sorry about your new name Topsharepicks...trying to do two things at once.

More than a little, an avalanche...here it is Topsp, Linda Modig's letter:

2020/21: 288 Sweden's conditions for a strong mining and mineral industry
In 2013, the then alliance government with Annie Lööf in charge Prime Minister presents the report Sweden's mineral strategy - For a sustainable use of Sweden's mineral resources that create growth throughout the country. The strategy aimed to strengthen and maintain Sweden's position as the EU's leading mining nation by increasing the competitiveness of the Swedish mining and mineral industry through 19 measures in eleven areas of action within five strategic areas. Since then, Sweden's attractiveness as a leading mining nation has declined. Sweden has lost the absolute top position on the Fraser Institute's Policy Perception Index in favor of one of Sweden's most important competitor countries, namely Finland, and investments in exploration activities in Sweden continues to be at low levels. The Riksdag's Constitution Committee has recently (ref. 20/21: KU10) among other things criticized the government for unacceptable delay in the processing of the application for a processing concession for Kallak. No new mine on virgin land has been started in Sweden since the then Northland Resources mine in Kaunisvaara in almost 13 years. The current situation can be explained by various reasons. The overall however, the picture should also worry the government. In view of this, I would like to ask Minister of Trade and Industry Ibrahim Baylan: Does the Minister intend to work for the government to re - establish Sweden's position as The EU's leading mining and mineral nation and, if so, what measures are needed the Prime Minister to take?
