The Storting has decided to investigate the need for and possible design of a lobby register for contacts with politicians in the Storting and the government administration. The decision follows an advisory opinion from the Storting's Presidency, which wants a thorough assessment of the issues before any legislative changes are considered.
A lobby register is a public list of people or organisations who contact politicians to influence political decisions. The proposal from the Liberal Party wanted to introduce such a register to increase transparency and confidence in the political system, citing recommendations from the Council of Europe's anti-corruption body GRECO. The Storting's Presidium has now been tasked with investigating the need for such a register and how it could be designed. The investigation will look at the pros and cons, including how to shield private individuals and protect the need for confidential information. Several parties, such as the Red Party and the Green Party, wanted more specific requirements for registration and sanction possibilities, but these proposals were not adopted. The unanimous decision means that the Storting will now carry out a thorough process to assess whether a register is the best solution to ensure transparency about lobbying.
Hva er dette?
A lobby register is a tool for transparency that registers meetings and contact between professional lobbyists and elected representatives or the political management of the ministries. The purpose is to give the public access to information about who is trying to influence the political process.
Hvorfor kom forslaget?
The proposers pointed out that Norway lacks rules for transparency about influence, which has been criticised by international bodies such as GRECO. They believe that increased transparency is necessary to maintain confidence in political decisions.
Hovedkonflikt
The conflict was between those who wanted a quick investigation with a view to introducing a register, and those who wanted more specific requirements for registration and sanctions now. The Storting decided on an investigation model rather than adopting specific requirements immediately.
Hva betyr det?
The decision means that the Storting will now formally consider how a lobby register could work in Norway. No new rules have been introduced yet, but the process to consider such rules has been started.
