"Hello politicians in the Constitution Committee.
13 / 10-2020 was the date when mining in Kallak was to be prepared in your committee. The government would then answer questions regarding why the processing concession is delayed for the company that applied for mining in Kallak. This is because the company has been granted a processing concession with Bergstaten but where the County Administrative Board has said no. The government must then make a decision as a last resort.
However, the Kallak case was postponed to the Constitution Committee. The government with responsible Minister of Trade and Industry Baylan would return with answers. The answers were submitted on 27 / 10-2020. It was written there that the case is complicated and that it is being prepared and that Unesco should be consulted to obtain more information.
What is extremely strange is that the government has had the matter on its table since 2017 and Unesco has been mentioned as a party before. If the government cannot make a decision, as there is probably a conflict of interest between the Social Democrats and the environmental parties, then the constitutional committee should come to the conclusion that the government actually needs to make a decision. This is due to lateness and the fact that the government does not act independently of the facts set out in the submissions and opinions.
According to Section 9 of the Public Administration Act, authorities must act simply, expeditiously and cost-effectively without compromising legal certainty. This should also apply to the government as a representative of society at large. The Kallak case obviously needs to be examined.
Issues constitutional committee may ask the responsible minster when he earlier and even now leaves standardized responses and to work concerning mining Kallak are tardy are:
- Why are prompted UNESCO in this position and not before, when the issue was already raised in the context when the government got Kallak case on his table?
- Is the actual reason for the late preparation a conflict between the Green Party and the Social Democrats? In a state governed by the rule of law, this should not be a reason why a processing concession is not granted.
- If the government plans to procure more opinions. When can these parties have a deadline to respond?
- When can the government set an end date for when the preparation of mining in Kallak is complete, as a decision should already have been made when the submissions were submitted already in 2017 !?
