It is not only the trade unions that are dissatisfied with the draft, most of them probably are. And one of the investigation directors told the radio that the investigation may not have been worked on as well as it should have been. Among other things, the following matters are questionable: | BLARK_translated | Tað eru ikki bert fakfeløgini, sum eru misnøgd við uppritið, tað munnu tey flestu vera. Og ein av kanningarstjórunum hevur við útvarpið sagt, at kanningin var kanska ikki so væl arbeidd, sum hon átti at verið. M.a. eru hesi viðurskifti ivasom: |
that the investigators only spoke with the minister and staff at VMS | BLARK_translated | at kanningarstjórarnir bert tosaðu við landsstýrismannin og starvsfólk í VMS |
that only an internal lawyer was asked, not least when one considers that this person, by definition, is the counterpart of the trade unions | BLARK_translated | at bert ein internur løgfrøðingur bleiv spurdur, ikki minst tá hugsað verður um, at hesin pr. definitión er mótpartur fakfelaganna |
that only the legal aspects in connection with Article 2 were examined, whereas the actual grounds for dismissal and the dismissal procedure were not. We only received a few confirmations. | BLARK_translated | at bert løgfrøðisligu viðurskiftini í sambandi við grein 2 blivu kannað, meðan sjálv uppsagnargrundin og uppsagnarframferðin ikki bleiv tað. Vit fingu bert nakrar staðfestingar. |
The Prime Minister’s letter of 20 May 1999 tells me that the Prime Minister does not intend to do more about the matter, and I therefore believe the time has come to deal with the issue more seriously in the Parliament. And it is my hope that this consideration will end with another investigation being carried out into... | BLARK_translated | Bræv løgmans 20. mai 1999 sigur mær, at løgmaður ætlar ikki at gera meira við málið, og haldi eg tí tíðin er komin at viðgera málið meira álvarsamt í tinginum. Og skal tað vera mín vón, at henda viðgerð endar við, at ein onnur kanning verður gjørd av fyrisitingarligu viðurskiftunum. Ein óvildug kanning. |
At the Løgting session on 10 August 1999 it was agreed without a vote that the question should be answered. | BLARK_translated | Á løgtingsfundi 10. august 1999 varð samtykt uttan atkvøðugreiðslu, at fyrispurningurin skal svarast. |
At the parliamentary session on 7 September 1999, Anfinn Kallsberg, the Prime Minister, answered the question as follows | BLARK_translated | Á tingfundi tann 7. september 1999 svaraði Anfinn Kallsberg løgmaður, fyrispurninginum soleiðis |
1) Should the Prime Minister’s letter of 20 May 1999 be interpreted to mean that the Prime Minister considers the draft satisfactory, and that nothing further is to be done in this matter? And that in the future the Minister of the Interior himself will decide what is to happen regarding the national archaeological ins... | BLARK_translated | 1) Skal skriv løgmans frá 20. mai 1999 skiljast soleiðis, at løgmaður metir uppritið nøktandi, og at einki meira skal gerast í hesum máli. Og at landsstýrismaðurin í framtíðini sjálvur gerð av, hvat skal fara fram viðvíkjandi landsverkfrøðingsstovninum? |
It should be noted, however, that all matters that are politically significant or have general rule characteristics are handled by the government and possibly also within the coalition under the coordination of the prime minister. | BLARK_translated | Viðmerkjast skal tó, at øll mál, ið eru politiskt týdningarmikil ella hava meginreglulig eyðkenni, verða viðgjørd av landsstýrinum og møguliga eisini í samgonguni undir samskipan løgmans. |
2) Should the same writing by the prime minister be interpreted to mean that he considers all matters in the investigative work to be in order? | BLARK_translated | 2) Skal sama skriv løgmans skiljast soleiðis, at hann heldur øll viðurskifti í kanningararbeiðinum vera í lagi? |
Answer: In the report two conclusions are made. One is that the dismissal from the post as national engineer was carried out according to applicable rules, and the other is that the matter was handled poorly from a personnel-policy perspective. | BLARK_translated | Svar: Í uppritinum eru tvær niðurstøður gjørdar. Onnur er, at niðurleggingin av starvinum sum landsverkfrøðingur fór fram eftir galdandi reglum, og hin er, at málið starvsfólkapolitiskt er handfarið óheppið. |
3) Should the letter be interpreted so that the Prime Minister considers the procedure regarding the dismissal to be in order, and that it will be accepted in the future? | BLARK_translated | 3) Skal skrivið tulkast soleiðis, at løgmaður heldur mannagongdina viðvíkjandi uppsøgnini vera í lagi, og at slík verður góðtikin í framtíðini? |
Answer: When talking about procedure in this matter one must distinguish between the legal aspects that are laid down by law, in contracts, etc., and other personnel-policy matters that concern how one should handle employee relations in an appropriate and respectful manner. | BLARK_translated | Svar: Tá tosað verður um mannagongd í hesum máli má skiljast ímillum tað løgfrøðiliga, ið er ásett við lóg, í sáttmála e.l., og onnur starvsfólkapolitisk viðurskifti, sum snúgva seg um, hvussu ein eigur at handfara starvfólkaviðurskifti á ein hóskandi og virðiligan hátt. |
From a staff-policy perspective the matter could have been handled better, and the Prime Minister has informed the minister of this. | BLARK_translated | Starvsfólkapolitiskt kundi málið verið handfarið betur, og hesum hevur løgmaður boðað landsstýrismanninum frá. |
The government has begun to address these matters. A dismissal policy will be implemented soon, and in the future the prime minister will reprimand if the dismissal policy is not followed. | BLARK_translated | Landsstýrið er farið undir at viðgera hesi viðurskifti. Uppsagnarpolitikkur verður nevniliga settur í verk í næstum, og løgmaður fer í framtíðini at átala, um uppsagnarpolitikkurin ikki verður fylgdur. |
4) Does the Prime Minister consider it acceptable that a government minister publicly states the reason for dismissal is organizational changes, while the investigation shows that the reason has been problems with cooperation? | BLARK_translated | 4) Heldur løgmaður tað vera í lagi, at landsstýrismaður alment sigur uppsagnargrundina vera bygnaðarbroytingar, meðan kanningin vísir á, at grundin hevur verið samstarvstrupulleikar? |
5) Does the Prime Minister consider that he has fulfilled the first condition in the agreement of 5 January 1999, and does he consider that the draft provides a sound basis for making a decision? | BLARK_translated | 5) Metir løgmaður, at hann hevur lokið fyrstu treytina í avtaluni frá 5. januar 1999, og metir hann, at uppritið er haldgott grundarlag at taka avgerð á? |
The Prime Minister considers that the statement describes how the matter is handled administratively by the relevant department and the minister. The Prime Minister has criticized the minister for what the Prime Minister considers to have been unfortunate. | BLARK_translated | Løgmaður metir, at uppritið lýsir, hvussu málið er handfarið fyrisitingarliga av ávikavíst aðalstýri og landsstýrismanni. Løgmaður hevur fyrihildið landsstýrismanninum tað, ið løgmaður metir hava verið óheppið. |
6) Does the Prime Minister not consider that the relationship between central administration and the institutions would have benefited from organizing a new and independent investigation into the matter? | BLARK_translated | 6) Metir løgmaður ikki, at tað hevði gagnað viðurskiftunum millum miðfyrisitingina og stovnarnar, um skipað bleiv fyri einari nýggjari og óheftari kanning av málinum? |
It should be noted that this is a misunderstanding, because it was not a question of an investigation of the central administration, but there was agreement to politically consider the organizational changes, and that this consideration should not concern only the central administration, but the entire national adminis... | BLARK_translated | Viðmerkjast skal, at hetta er ein misskiljing, tí talan var ikki um kanning av miðfyrisitingini, men semja var um politiskt at viðgera bygnaðarbroytingarnar, og at henda viðgerð skuldi ikki einans fevna um miðfyrisitingina, men um alla landsfyrisitingina. Orðingin var soljóðandi: |
A political approach will be taken in dealing with the organizational changes within the central government as a whole, and a plan for a future organizational structure will be made. | BLARK_translated | Farið verður politiskt undir viðgerðina av bygnaðarbroytingunum innan landsfyrisitingina sum heild, og ætlan fyri ein framtíðarbygnað verður gjørd". |
It can be noted in this connection that the staff at the National Institute of Civil Engineering have begun to describe the activities of the institute. This work is expected to be completed on September 1. | BLARK_translated | Upplýsast kann í hesum sambandi, at starvsfólkið á Landsverkfrøðingsstovninum er farið undir at lýsa virksemið á stovninum. Hetta arbeiðið verður væntandi liðugt 1. september. |
Then various proposals will be addressed, all of which are carried out except for the proposal that: "The Prime Minister's Office should provide an interpretation of Article 2 in the agreement between the Civil Servants' Association and the Government." | BLARK_translated | Síðan verður komið inn á ymisk lyfti, sum øll eru framd uttan lyfti um: "At Løgmansskrivstovan skuldi koma við eini tulking av grein 2 í sáttmálanum millum Starvsmannafelagið og Landsstýrið". |
It should be emphasized in this connection that at the aforementioned meeting the prime minister did not at all agree with the unions’ view that Article 2 of the agreement between the Civil Servants’ Association and the Treasury had been violated. | BLARK_translated | Dentur skal í hesum sambandi leggjast á, at løgmaður á nevnda fundi við tey trý fakfeløgini als ikki tók undir við fatanini hjá feløgunum um, at § 2 í sáttmálanum millum Starvsmannafelagið og Fíggjarmálastýrið var brotin. |
Under the heading personal remarks, Finnur Helmsdal says, among other things, that the matter concerns: | BLARK_translated | Undir punktinum egnar viðmerkingar sigur Finnur Helmsdal m.a., at málið snýr seg um: |
1. To find out whether the national engineer was lawfully dismissed, or whether the minister has acted improperly. Whether the minister has told the truth. And that again means that we must clarify whether the case is administratively and legally in order before we determine whether it is politically acceptable. | BLARK_translated | 1. At fáa greiði á, um landsverkfrøðingurin varð sagdur úr starvi av røttum, ella um landsstýrismaðurin hevur borið seg skeivt at. Um landsstýrismaðurin hevur sagt sannleikan. Og tað vil aftur siga, at vit mugu fáa greiði á, um málið er fyrisitingarliga og løgfrøðiliga í lagi, áðrenn vit finna út av, um tað er politisk... |
2. It is therefore also about whether the civil engineer's professional existence and future have been unjustly destroyed, or whether the dismissal was a necessary and inevitable consequence of some unfortunate circumstances. | BLARK_translated | 2. Tað snýr seg tí eisini um, um landsverkfrøðingurin hevur fingið sína starvsligu tilveru og -framtíð oyðilagda av órøttum, ella um uppsøgnin var ein neyðug og sjálvsøgd fylgja av nøkrum óhepnum viðurskiftum." |
If the national civil engineer has had his professional existence and future destroyed, that is a personal matter that should not be handled in the Faroese Parliament. The national civil engineer was offered another position in the administration, and it was considered that the dismissal was necessary in order to imple... | BLARK_translated | Um landsverkfrøðingurin hevur fingið sína starvsligu tilveru og -framtíð oyðilagda, er ein persónligur spurningur, sum ikki eigur at verða viðgjørdur á Føroya Løgtingi. Landsverkfrøðingurin fekk bjóða annað starv í fyrisitingini, og mett varð, at uppsøgnin var neyðug fyri at fáa sett arbeiðið við bygnaðarbroytingum í v... |
3. Ultimately, this matter can come down to the legal protection of public leaders and public employees as a whole. | BLARK_translated | 3. Hetta mál kann í seinasta enda snúgva seg um rættartrygdina hjá almennum leiðarum og almennum starvsfólkum sum heild." |
It is said that one of the staff members who conducted the investigation told the radio that the investigation may not have been as well done as it should have been. | BLARK_translated | Sagt verður, at eitt av teimum starvsfólkunum, sum stóð fyri kanningini, við útvarpið hevur sagt, at kanningin var kanska ikki so væl arbeidd, sum hon átti at verið. |
This is a straight misrepresentation, because the staff told the radio that it was the first time such a report had been made, and therefore it is not inconceivable that the procedure would be different if such a report were to be made a second time. | BLARK_translated | Hetta er beinleiðis skeivt endurgivið, tí starvsfólkið segði við útvarpið, at tað var fyrstu ferð, at ein tílík frágreiðing var gjørd, og tí er tað ikki óhugsandi, at framferðarhátturin verður ein annar, um ein tílík frágreiðing skal gerast eina aðru ferð. |
In the year 1999, on Tuesday, August 24, the chairman announced the above-mentioned question from Henrik Old, member of the Løgting, which was as follows: | BLARK_translated | Ár 1999, týsdagin 24. august, boðaði formaðurin frá omanfyri nevnda fyrispurningi frá Henrik Old, løgtingsmanni, sum var soljóðandi: |
In order to take a part of the heaviest traffic between Vágur and Drelnes, the Faroese Parliament agreed this spring that Smyril should sail to Vágur, but to counteract this, Strandferðslan and the Ministry of Trade scheduled a trip in such a way that no one benefited from it. | BLARK_translated | Fyri at taka ein part av tí tyngstu ferðsluni millum Vág og Drelnes samtykti Løgtingið í vár, at Smyril skuldi sigla á Vág, men fyri at mótarbeiða hesum legði Strandferðslan og Vinnumálastýrið ein túr soleiðis, at eingin fekk nyttu av honum. |
It is clear to everyone that it is necessary to begin tunnel construction between Hov and Øravík as soon as possible. Therefore this question is being put to the Minister of Transport, Finnbogi Arge. | BLARK_translated | Tað stendur øllum greitt, at neyðugt er sum skjótast at fara undir tunnilsgerð millum Hov og Øravík. Tí verður hesin fyrispurningur settur landsstýrismanninum í samferðslumálum, Finnboga Arge. |
At the parliamentary session on 26 August 1999 it was agreed without a vote that the question shall be answered. | BLARK_translated | Á løgtingsfundi 26. august 1999 varð samtykt uttan atkvøðugreiðslu, at fyrispurningurin skal svarast. |
Can the minister confirm to the Faroese Parliament that he will immediately notify Strandferðslan to arrange the ferry service between Tórshavn and Vágur in the way the Parliament intended with its decision? | BLARK_translated | Kann landsstýrismaðurin vátta fyri Løgtinginum, at hann beinanvegin gevur Strandferðsluni boð um, at siglingin millum Havnina og Vág verður løgd soleiðis, sum Løgtingið við samtykt síni ætlaði? |
Does the minister plan to immediately put a trip between Tórshavn and Vág on Tuesday, when Smyril otherwise lies in port all day? | BLARK_translated | Ætlar landsstýrismaðurin beinanvegin at seta ein túr inn millum Havnina og Vág týsdag, tá Smyril annars liggur í Havn allan dagin? |
This spring the Faroese Parliament decided that Smyril should sail to Vágar again, after this sailing route was discontinued shortly after the Social Democratic Party withdrew from the last government coalition. | BLARK_translated | Í vár samtykti Løgtingið, at Smyril aftur skuldi sigla á Vág, eftir at henda sigling bleiv niðurløgd, skjótt eftir at Javnaðarflokkurin fór burur úr seinastu landsstýrissamgongu. |
This service was specifically intended to provide relief to the industry in the southern half of Suðuroy, which, as is well known, has higher freight expenses than most other businesses in the country. | BLARK_translated | Henda sigling var serliga ætlað at lætta um hjá vinnuni í syðru helvt av Suðuroynni, ið sum kunnugt hevur størri farmaútreiðslur enn flest onnur virki í landinum. |
But Strandferðslan and the Ministry of Trade and Industry arranged a trip to Vágur on Saturday in such a way that no one benefits from this trip, neither businesses nor travelers. Furthermore, they have resumed sailing between Vágur and Tvøroyri, which had been discontinued almost 40 years ago. | BLARK_translated | Men Strandferðslan og Vinnumálastýrið løgdu ein túr á Vág leygardag soleiðis, at eingin fær nyttu av hesum túri, hvørki vinna ella ferðafólk. Harumframt verður aftur farið at sigla millum Vág og Tvøroyri, sum givist var við fyri skjótt 40 árum síðani. |
Such manipulation can only be understood as an attempt to oppose the will of the Faroese Parliament. | BLARK_translated | Slík tilrættislegging kann einans fatast sum, at man vil mótarbeiða Løgtingsins vilja. |
Therefore this question is being put to the Minister of Transport, Finnbogi Arge. | BLARK_translated | Tí verður hesin fyrispurningur settur landsstýrismanninum í samferðslumálum, Finnboga Arge. |
In connection with Bill no. 38 of 23 April 1999 on an amendment to the parliamentary law on passenger and cargo transport, the national ferry company has changed the schedule so that there will be a sailing to Vág once a week. | BLARK_translated | Í samband við Ll. nr. 38 frá 23. apríl 1999 um broyting í løgtingslóg um fólka- og farmaflutning hevur Strandfaraskip landsins broytt ferðaætlanina soleiðis, at siglt verður á Vág eina ferð um vikuna. |
The national ferry service has begun processing the questionnaires that were sent to businesses in Suðuroy and placed on board the Smyril. Based in part on these surveys, which address the needs of businesses and passengers, a new sailing schedule will take effect from 1 November 1999. | BLARK_translated | Strandfaraskip landsins er farið undir at viðgera tey spurnarbløð, sum vóru send vinnuni í Suðuroy og løgd umborð á Smyril. M.a. grundað á hesar kanningar, sum viðgera tørvin hjá vinnuni og ferðafólki, verður nýggj ferðaætlan gjørd galdandi frá 1. november 1999. |
In the year 1999, on Tuesday, August 24, the chairperson announced the above-mentioned question from Dan R. Petersen, member of the Løgting, which was as follows: | BLARK_translated | Ár 1999, týsdagin 24. august, boðaði formaðurin frá omanfyri nevnda fyrispurningi frá Dan R. Petersen, løgtingsmanni, sum var soljóðandi: |
Has the minister given SEV permission to proceed with the Eiði 4 plan, which extends from Barkhella at the head of Funningsfjord and southwards? | BLARK_translated | Hevur landsstýrismaðurin givið SEV loyvið at fara undir Eiði 4-ætlanina, sum røkkur frá Barkhellu innast í Funningsfirði og suðureftir? |
Does the minister know whether SEV has complied with the conditions that were imposed on SEV in connection with the Eiði 3 project, and if not, what does the minister intend to do to ensure that they are complied with? | BLARK_translated | Veit landsstýrismaðurin, um SEV hevur hildið tær treytir, sum vóru álagdar SEV í samband við Eiði 3-ætlanina, og um ikki, hvat ætlar landsstýrismaðurin at gera fyri, at tær verða hildnar? |
Shouldn't the government minister first take a principled position and in this context consult the conservation authorities as part of the overall case handling? | BLARK_translated | Eigur landsstýrismaðurin ikki fyrst at taka prinsipiella støðu og í hesum sambandi spyrja friðingarmyndugleikarnar sum liður í samlaðu málsviðgerðini? |
Does the minister consider it reasonable that a large portion of the water between the fjords is being diverted, given that this is primarily agricultural land, and that this will create major problems regarding irrigation for the agriculture in the area? | BLARK_translated | Metir landsstýrismaðurin tað rímiligt, at ein stórur partur av vatninum millum Fjarða verður burturleitt, tá havandi er í huga, at hetta er landbúnaðarøki burturav, og at hetta kemur at skapa stórar trupulleikar viðvíkjandi tæðing hjá landbúnaðinum í økinum? |
Does the minister consider it correct from an ecological and recreational perspective that the majority of the area between the fjords will be drained? | BLARK_translated | Metir landsstýrismaðurin tað vera rætt út frá einum vistfrøðiligum og rekreativum sjónarmiði, at meginparturin av økinum millum Fjarða verður turrlagt? |
Does the minister consider it right that the work to divert water from Skálafjørður and Funningsfjørður is carried out before the ecological surveys have been done? | BLARK_translated | Metir landsstýrismaðurin tað vera rætt, at arbeiðið at leiða vatn frá Skálafirði og Funningsfirði verður gjørt, áðrenn tær vistfrøðiligu kanningarnar eru gjørdar? |
Does the minister know that the landowners and the municipalities that are in the area are strongly opposed to draining the Vesturdalsá? | BLARK_translated | Veit landsstýrismaðurin, at hagaánararnir og kommurnar, ið vara av økinum, eru hart ímóti at turrleggja Vesturdalsá? |
Does the minister consider that the impartiality of the members of the Preservation Committee is in order? | BLARK_translated | Metir landsstýrismaðurin, at habiliteturin hjá limunum í Yvirfriðingarnevndini er í lagi? |
It was reported in the media that SEV has applied to the conservation committee in Eysturoy and the Higher Conservation Committee for permission to take water from Vesturdalsá between Fjarða, and the conservation authorities have responded affirmatively, albeit with certain conditions. | BLARK_translated | Tað frættist í fjølmiðlunum, at SEV hevur søkt friðingarnevndina í Eysturoynni og Yvirfriðingarnevndina um loyvi at taka vatn úr Vesturdalsá millum Fjarða, og friðingarmyndugleikarnir hava svarað játtandi, tó við ávísum treytum. |
In my opinion, it is not the right procedure for recommending authorities to handle such matters before the licensing authority — in this case the government — does so. | BLARK_translated | Tað er eftir mínum tykki ikki røtt mannagongd, at tilmælandi myndugleikar viðgera slík mál, áðrenn loyvismyndugleikin - í hesum føri landsstýrið - ger tað. |
To my knowledge, not all the conditions attached to the Eiði 3 plan have been fulfilled. Therefore it seems strange to start the Eiði 4 plan and attach conditions when the previous conditions — to my knowledge — have not been completed. | BLARK_translated | Mær vitandi eru ikki allar treytir uppfyltar, sum lagdar vóru við Eiði 3-ætlanina. Tí tykist løgið at fara undir Eiði 4-ætlanina og leggja treytir við, tá fyrru treytirnar - mær vitandi - ikki eru loknar. |
By starting the expansion of Eiði 4, one will ecologically affect the Skálafjørður, and in my opinion this is irresponsible, especially since no ecological studies of Skálafjørður have been carried out beforehand, and parts of the studies that were required for Eiði 3 have not been done either. | BLARK_translated | Við at fara undir útbyggjan av Eiði 4, kemur man at ávirka Skálafjørðin vistfrøðiliga, og er hetta eftir mínum tykki ábyrgdarleyst, serliga tá ongar vistfrøðiligar kanningar eru gjørdar av Skálafjørðinum frammanundan, og partar av teimum kanningum, sum vóru álagdar við Eiði 3, heldur ikki eru gjørdar. |
It should be stated straight away that the minister has not given S.E.V. permission to proceed with the Eiði 4 project, and the minister does not have the authority to grant such permission. | BLARK_translated | Sigast skal beinanvegin, at landsstýrismaðurin hevur ikki givið S.E.V. loyvi at fara undir Eiði 4-ætlanina, og landsstýrismaðurin hevur heldur ikki heimild at geva slíkt loyvi. |
S.E.V. is an inter-municipal joint-stock company whose supreme authority is a board of representatives. By regulation no. 76 of 5.10.1963 the inter-municipal power company was granted permission to use the hydropower in Streymoy, Eysturoy, Vágoy and Suðuroy. In this permit it is stipulated that the permit holder (S.E.V... | BLARK_translated | S.E.V. er eitt interkommunalt lutafelag, hvørs evsta vald er ein umboðsnevnd. Við kunngerð nr. 76 frá 5.10.1963 fekk interkommunala ravmagnsfelagið loyvi at nýta vatnkraftina í Streymoy, Eysturoy, Vágoy og Suðuroy. Í hesum loyvi er ásett, at loyvishavarin (S.E.V.) við øllum sínum verkum og rakstri teirra, er undir tí e... |
The Government therefore does not have authority to control S.E.V., except for what is specified in the 1963 license regarding the use of hydropower. I can inform you that the statutes were most recently approved by the Prime Minister on 12/10/1998. | BLARK_translated | Landsstýrið hevur sostatt ikki myndugleika at ráða yvir S.E.V., burtursæð frá tí, sum er ásett í loyvinum um at nýta vatnkraftina frá 1963. Eg kann upplýsa, at viðtøkurnar seinast eru góðkendar av løgmanni 12.10.1998. |
Under the parliamentary Nature Conservation Act, permission from the nature conservation authorities is required before work that can be expected to significantly alter a designated landscape is carried out. | BLARK_translated | Eftir løgtingslóg um náttúrufriðing krevst loyvi frá náttúrufriðingarmyndugleikunum, áðrenn arbeiði, ið kunnu væntast at broyta sermerkt landslag munandi, verða gjørd. |
Questioner Dan Petersen says in his remarks that he does not consider it the correct procedure that "advisory authorities handle such matters before the licensing authority — in this case the government — does so." | BLARK_translated | Spyrjarin Dan Petersen sigur í viðmerkingum sínum, at hann ikki metir tað vera rætta mannagongd, at "tilmælandi myndugleikar viðgera slík mál, áðrenn loyvismyndugleikin - í hesum føri landsstýrið - ger tað." |
In the year 1999, on Tuesday, September 7, the chairman announced the above-mentioned question from Sámal Petur í Grund, member of the Faroese Parliament, which was as follows: | BLARK_translated | Ár 1999, týsdagin 7. september, boðaði formaðurin frá omanfyri nevnda fyrispurningi frá Sámal Petur í Grund, løgtingsmanni, sum var soljóðandi: |
Can the Prime Minister of the Faroe Islands inform the Løgting (Parliament) why the national legislation recommendations, which the Prime Minister approved on 28 January 1998 recommending the enactment of various church laws on 1 January 1999, have still not been implemented. | BLARK_translated | Kann Føroya løgmaður greiða Løgtinginum frá, hví tey ríkislógartilmæli, sum løgmaður staðfesti 28. januar 1998, við tilmæli um at seta ymsar kirkjulógir í gildi 1. januar 1999, enn ikki eru útinnt. |
At the parliamentary session in 1997 it was possible to have 7 national law recommendations approved in this regard, and on 28 January 1998 the Prime Minister confirmed these national law recommendations with a proposal to bring the church laws into force on 1 January 1999. | BLARK_translated | Tað eydnaðist í tingsetuni 1997 at fáa 7 ríkislógartilmæli samtykt hesum viðvíkjandi, og 28. januar 1998 staðfesti løgmaður hesi ríkislógartilmæli við tilmæli um at seta kirkjulógirnar í gildi 1. januar 1999. |
1999 came, and nothing was done to ensure that the minister of church affairs hurried to implement the will of the parliament. On the contrary, the minister said in the media that he had no intention of doing anything about the matter. | BLARK_translated | 1999 upprann, og einki røktist fyri, at landsstýrismaðurin í kirkjumálum hevði skund at fáa tingsins vilja settan í verk. Tvørturímóti so segði landsstýrismaðurin í fjølmiðlunum, at hann ikki var sinnaður at gera nakað við málið. |
This proposal of the minister received first reading on 2 March 1999, and the minister was then clearly informed what the Løgting thought about this matter. On 13 April 1999 the minister’s proposal received a second reading and was rejected, so the public Faroese recommendation remained to put the church laws into effe... | BLARK_translated | Hetta uppskot landsstýrismansins fekk 1. viðgerð 2. mars 1999, og fekk landsstýrismaðurin tá greitt at vita, hvat Løgtingið helt um hetta mál. 13. apríl 1999 fekk uppskot landsstýrismansins 2. viðgerð og fall, sostatt var almenna føroyska tilmælið framvegis, at seta kirkjulógirnar í gildi 1. januar 1999. |
After the minister had been informed that the Løgting wanted the seven royal-law recommendations carried out, it was expected that the legislation would soon be announced. | BLARK_translated | Eftir at landsstýrismaðurin hevði fingið at vita, at Løgtingið vildi hava tey 7 ríkislógartilmælini útinnt, var væntað, at skjótt fór lóggávan at verða kunngjørd. |
Eight months have passed since the national law recommendations were supposed to have been implemented. | BLARK_translated | 8 mánaðir eru gingnir, síðani ríkislógartilmælini skuldu verið sett í gildi. |
Six months have passed since the parliament confirmed for the second time that the entry into force would be 1999. | BLARK_translated | 6 mánaðir eru gingnir, síðani tingið á øðrum sinni staðfesti, at ígildiskoman skuldi verða 1999. |
Still there is nothing to indicate that the minister is doing anything to follow the parliament's will, therefore this question is being put to Anfinn Kallsberg, the Prime Minister. | BLARK_translated | Enn er tó einki, sum týðir uppá, at landsstýrismaðurin ger nakað fyri at fylgja løgtingsins vilja, tí verður hesin fyrispurningur settur Anfinni Kallsberg, løgmanni. |
At the Løgting (parliament) meeting on 9 September 1999 it was agreed without a vote that the question shall be answered. | BLARK_translated | Á løgtingsfundi 9. september 1999 varð samtykt uttan atkvøðugreiðslu, at fyrispurningurin skal svarast. |
The minister has stated in writing that the Prime Minister on 28 January 1998 confirmed 7 state law recommendations to bring the church laws into force on 1 January 1999. The laws contain provisions that the minister may lay down detailed rules on various matters in regulations. | BLARK_translated | Landsstýrismaðurin hevur skrivliga greitt frá, at løgmaður tann 28. januar 1998 staðfesti 7 ríkislógartilmæli um at seta kirkjulógirnar í gildi tann 1. januar 1999. Í lógunum eru ásetingar um, at landsstýrismaðurin kann áseta nærri reglur um ymisk viðurskifti í kunngerð. |
The previous government left without resolving the matter, and on 15 May 1998 a new coalition was formed. After that (Nov./Dec. 1998) the minister appointed a committee to prepare the takeover of the national church. | BLARK_translated | Undanfarna landsstýri fór frá uttan at avgreiða málið, og tann 15. mai 1998 varð nýggj samgonga skipað. Eftir hetta (nov./dec.1998) setti landsstýrismaðurin nevnd at fyrireika yvirtøku av fólkakirkjuni. |
The Minister explains that because these laws are national laws and therefore concern matters that are not Faroese special affairs, there is a mixing of Faroese and Danish authorities, and accordingly some work has been carried out in the Ministry of Education and Culture to try to clarify this tangle. He also points o... | BLARK_translated | Landsstýrismaðurin greiðir frá, at av tí at hesar lógir eru ríkislógir og sostatt snúgva seg um mál, sum ikki eru føroyskt sermál, hendir ein samanblanding av føroyskum og donskum myndugleikum, og sostatt er farið fram eitt ávíst arbeiði í Undirvísingar- og mentamálastýrinum at royna at greiða hesa fløkju. Hann ger eis... |
The government office has explained that regulations to be made under the authority of the Church Acts were sent to the cabinet in writing and on disk in June 1996. These are some regulations that the cabinet is to review. In addition, the cabinet was asked to prepare some regulations that contain provisions on specifi... | BLARK_translated | Ríkisumboðið hevur greitt frá, at kunngerðir, ið skulu gerast við heimild í kirkjulógunum vórðu sendar landsstýrinum skrivliga og á diskli í juni 1996. Talan er um nakrar kunngerðir, ið landsstýrið skal ummæla. Harumframt varð landsstýrið biðið um at gera nakrar kunngerðir, ið innihalda ásetingar um serlig føroysk kirk... |
The government authority states that this has been common practice and is in accordance with Home Rule Act § 7. They also emphasize that it is the Ministry of Church Affairs that is responsible for the work of making the regulations under the authority of the church laws, and not the minister. | BLARK_translated | Ríkisumboðið nevnir, at hetta hevur verið vanlig mannagongd og er í samsvar við heimastýrislógina § 7. Eisini legga tey dent á, at tað er Kirkjumálaráðið, sum stendur fyri arbeiðinum at gera kunngerðirnar við heimild í kirkjulógunum, og ikki landsstýrismaðurin. |
It is also noted that the Faroese Parliament has not approved the state law proposals regarding the Church Council, and that the government has not given the green light for the regulations to be put into effect. According to the Church Affairs Department, the matter therefore lies with the home rule government. | BLARK_translated | Mint verður eisini á, at løgtingið ikki hevur samtykt ríkislógartilmæli um kirkjuráð, og at landsstýrið ikki hevur givið grønt ljós fyri, at kunngerðirnar kunnu setast í gildi. Málið er sambært Kirkjumálaráðnum sostatt hjá heimastýrinum. |
On the other hand, it is said that a prerequisite for the church laws to be put into force for the Faroe Islands is that the regulations are made, and that it is announced that this is the responsibility of the government. At the end of the letter the Royal Commission was asked to inform the government about this, and ... | BLARK_translated | Hinvegin verður sagt, at ein fyritreyt fyri, at kirkjulógirnar verða settar í gildi fyri Føroyar er, at kunngerðirnar eru gjørdar, og boðað verður frá, at hetta liggur hjá landsstýrinum. At enda í brævinum verður Ríkisumboðið biðið um at kunna landsstýrið um hetta, og varð hetta gjørt. |
In a letter dated January 21, 1999, the Government Representative has replied to the Department of Education and Cultural Affairs that the notification from the Church Affairs Council that this is a comprehensive piece of legislation to be put into force simultaneously was given on the condition that the home governmen... | BLARK_translated | Í brævi, dagfest tann 21. januar 1999, hevur Ríkisumboðið svarað Undirvísingar- og mentamálastýrinum, at fráboðanin frá Kirkjumálaráðnum um, at talan er um eitt samlað lógarverk, ið eigur at verða sett í gildi samstundis, er givin undir teirri fyritreyt, at heimastýrið hevur ynskt eina samlaða endurskoðan av økinum. |
Neither the State Administration nor the Church Affairs Department has received notification that anything else should now apply, for example that the law on church councils should not be brought into force. On the other hand, after the letter dated November 3, 1998, was sent to the Directorate of Education and Culture... | BLARK_translated | Hvørki Ríkisumboðið ella Kirkjumálaráðið hava fingið fráboðan um, at nakað annað nú skuldi verið galdandi, t.d. at lógin um kirkjuráð ikki skuldi setast í gildi. Hinvegin hevur Ríkisumboðið, aftaná at brævið, dagfest tann 3. november 1998, var sent Undirvísingar- og mentamálastýrinum, hoyrt í fjølmiðlunum, at landsstýr... |
The Prime Minister believes that the matter has been handled poorly. At a meeting with the Minister of Church Affairs, the Prime Minister has been promised that the matter will be resolved within 3 weeks from today. | BLARK_translated | Løgmaður heldur, at málið er handfarið óheppið. Á fundi við landsstýrismannin í kirkjumálum, hevur løgmaður fingið lyfti um, at málið verður avgreitt innan 3 vikur frá dags dato. |
In the year 1999, on Thursday, 23 September, the chairman announced the above-mentioned question from Andrias Petersen, member of the Løgting, which was as follows: | BLARK_translated | Ár 1999, hósudagin 23. september, boðaði formaðurin frá omanfyri nevnda fyrispurningi frá Andrias Petersen, løgtingsmanni, sum var soljóðandi: |
Does the minister know whether SEV has complied with the conditions that were imposed on SEV in connection with the Eiði 3 project, and if not, what does the minister intend to do to ensure that they are complied with? | BLARK_translated | Veit landsstýrismaðurin, um SEV hevur hildið tær treytir, sum vóru álagdar SEV i sambandi við Eiði 3-ætlanina, og um ikki, hvat ætlar landsstýrismaðurin at gera fyri, at tær verða hildnar? |
Does the minister consider it reasonable that a large portion of the water between the fjords is diverted, bearing in mind that this is agricultural land, and that this will create major problems regarding irrigation for agriculture in the area? | BLARK_translated | Metir landsstýrismaðurin tað rímiligt, at ein stórur partur av vatninum millum Fjarða verður burturleiddur, tá havandi er i huga, at hetta er landbúnaðarøki burturav, og at hetta kemur at skapa stórar trupulleikar viðvíkjandi taðing hjá landbúnaðinum í økinum? |
Does the minister consider it right that the work to divert water from Skálafjørður and Funningsfjørður will be done before the ecological surveys have been carried out? | BLARK_translated | Metir landsstýrismaðurin, tað vera rætt, at arbeiðið at leiða vatn frá Skálafirði og Funningsfirði verður gjørt, áðrenn tær vistfrøðiligu kanningarnar eru gjørdar? |
Does the minister know that the landowners and the municipalities in the affected area are strongly opposed to draining Vesturdalsá? Does this have any impact on the minister’s stance? | BLARK_translated | Veit landsstýrismaðurin, at hagaánararnir og kommunurnar, ið varða av økinum, eru hart ímóti at turrleggja Vesturdalsá? Hevur hetta nakra ávirkan á støðutakan landsstýrismansins? |
Does the Minister believe that the impartiality of the members of the Conservation Committee is in order? | BLARK_translated | Metir Landsstýrismaðurin, at habiliteturin hjá limunum í Yvirfriðingarnevndini er í lagi? |
To my knowledge, not all conditions attached to the Eiði 3 project have been fulfilled. Therefore it seems strange to me to start the Eiði 4 project and attach conditions when, to my knowledge, the earlier conditions have not been fulfilled. | BLARK_translated | Mær vitandi eru ikki allar treytir loknar, sum lagdar vóru við Eiði 3-ætlanina. Tí tykist løgið at fara undir Eiði 4-ætlanina og leggja treytir við, tá fyrru treytirnar mær vitandi - ikki eru loknar. |
By beginning the expansion of Eiði 4, one will affect Skálafjørður ecologically, and this, in my opinion, is irresponsible, especially since no ecological studies of Skálafjørður have been carried out beforehand, and parts of the studies that were required for Eiði 3 have not been done either. | BLARK_translated | Við at fara undir útbyggjan av Eiði 4, kemur man at ávirka Skálafjørðin vistfrøõiliga, og er hetta eftir mínum tykki ábyrgdarleyst, serliga tá ongar vistfrøðiligar kanningar eru gjørdar av Skálafjørðinum frammanundan, og partar av teimum kanningum, sum vóru álagdar við Eiði 3, heldur ikki eru gjørdir. |
At the parliamentary sitting on 30 September 1999 it was agreed without a vote that the question shall be answered. | BLARK_translated | Á løgtingsfundi 30. september 1999 varð samtykt uttan atkvøðugreiðslu, at fyrispuringurin skal svarast. |
Regarding question 2: Does the minister know whether SEV has complied with the conditions imposed on SEV in connection with the Eiði 3 plan, and if not, what does the minister intend to do to ensure that they are complied with? | BLARK_translated | Viðv. spurningi 2: Veit landsstýrismaðurin, um SEV hevur hildið tær treytir, sum vóru álagdar SEV í sambandi við Eiði 3-ætlanina, og um ikki, hvat ætlar landsstýrismaðurin at gera fyri, at tær verða hildnar? |
Several of the conditions from 1983 have nothing to do with the current expansion, but item 8 in the 1983 decision requires ".SEV to bear the cost of continued biological studies of Funningsfjord." | BLARK_translated | Fleiri av treytunum frá 1983 hava einki við verandi útbygging at gera, men pkt. 8 í 1983-útskurðinum áleggur ".SEV at bera kostnaðin av framhaldandi lívfrøðiligum kanningum av Funningsfjørði." |
About this condition SEV explains in the letter of 29 June 1999 as follows: | BLARK_translated | Um hesa treytina greiðir SEV í skrivinum frá 29. juni 1999 soleiðis frá: |
SEV is obliged to bear the cost of ongoing biological studies of Funningsfjørður. | BLARK_translated | SEV er álagt at bera kostnaðin av framhaldandi lívfrøðiligum kanningum av Funningsfirði. |
According to a research proposal from the Fisheries Research Institute, dated 18 October 1985, certain investigations were carried out in Funningsfjørður in 1985. | BLARK_translated | Sambært kanningaruppskoti frá Fiskirannsóknarstovuni, dagfest 18. oktober 1985, eru ávísar kanningar gjørdar av Funningsfirði í 1985. |
In connection with the treatment by the Energy Council of the hydroelectric development, the government asked the Energy Council to assess the possible impacts. A report, dated January 1987, titled "Hydroelectric Development in Eysturoy - The Impact on Sea and Land" was publicly announced and sent to SEV in a letter da... | BLARK_translated | Í sambandi við viðgerðina í Orkuráðnum av vatnorkuútbyggingini bað landsstýrið Orkuráðið gera metingar av møguligum árini. Frágreiðing, dagfest januar 1987, við heitinum "Vatnorkuútbygging í Eysturoynni - Árin á Sjógvi og Landi" varð almanna kunngjørd og send SEV í brævi, dagfest 10. mars 1987. Frágreiðingin var skriva... |
As is known, the hydropower development (Eiði 3) was not carried out according to the original schedule because of difficult economic conditions in the late ’80s and early ’90s. The surveys were therefore not carried out at that time. The time has now come to carry out these surveys, and SEV will, of course, pay the co... | BLARK_translated | Sum kunnugt varð vatnorkuútbyggingin (Eiði 3) ikki framd eftir upprunaligu tíðarætlanini vegna truplu búskaparviðurskiftini síðst í 80'unum og fyrst í 90'unum. Kanningarnar vóru tí heldur ikki settar í verk tá. Tíðin er nú komin at seta hesar kanningar í verk, og skal SEV sjálvsagt gjalda kostnaðin. |
The question of who should carry out these investigations, and how they should be conducted, should be reconsidered so that the investigation is as objective and unbiased as possible. | BLARK_translated | Spurningurin, hvør skal gera hesar kanningar, og hvussu tær skulu fremjast, eigur at verða umhugsaður av nýggjum, soleiðis at kanningin verður so objektiv og óvildug sum tilber. |
is subject to SEV fulfilling the conditions set on 30 December 1983 and in this decision. | BLARK_translated | fylgir við, um SEV lýkur treytirnar, ásettar tann 30. december 1983 og í hesi niðurstøðu. |
