basically, Norwegians more practical;
Minister of Business Affairs Torbjørn Røe Isaksen (H) says the mining project touches on two reindeer grazing districts and emphasizes that reindeer herding interests and the consideration of Sami culture have been important in the ministry's assessment of the application.
They have conducted consultations with affected reindeer grazing districts and the Sami Parliament, but have not come to an agreement with the Sami Parliament in the consultations.
The Ministry states that the operation must be adapted to minimize the impact on the grazing areas. One of these measures is that there should not be operation at Ulveryggen during the calving period (1 May to 15 June).
- As the Ministry considers it, the measure will therefore not prevent or significantly reduce the reindeer husbandry exercise or Sami cultural practice, the Ministry of Trade and Fisheries states.
