Trade and Agencies will have negotiations with the EU on the EEA agreement and will follow the negotiations between the united Kingdom and the EUROPEAN union on a new agreement carefully. This is good and concrete measures that can show the way out of the unsustainable situation that the EEA agreement has put us in, ” says Kathrine kleveland also, the leader of the No to the EUROPEAN union in a press release.

Affect the workplace

It is especially the impact of EEA membership on the labour market, which is the basis for that HP believes something must be done.

They criticize how extensive the agreement is, and believe it today encompasses far more than what was notified in advance.

– This decision from the Trade and Office is a very important contribution in the fight against the EEA agreement, the attack on the Norwegian labor market, kleveland also in the press release.

the Proposal went originally to terminate the EEA agreement and contained a sentence that connect tmener Norway also in the future to stand outside the EU, but both of these formulations is lost in the final statement which was adopted at the congress.

Voltage in front of the LO-congress

Trade and the Office will thus become the fifth association that requires new negotiations with the EU, which may indicate that the EEA-accession can be a hot topic at the LO congress, arbeidstagerorganisasjonens items, which will be held in may next year.

Congress has in previous years requested that the Norwegian authorities must go against the limitations of the right to collective bargaining, the national wage formation and collective kampmidler that the EUROPEAN union may try to counter.

Ap-leder Jonas Gahr Støre has warned LO association to go for an opt-out policy.

– To join us out of the EEA-agreement will be a mistake. I would warn against. We must have common rules with the countries we trade with around the us. Our economy is small in relation to a strong Europe. The EEA is primarily a protection for the weak, said Støre according to the news REC.
