– We have submitted a proposal and have not received any real response to it. So we have to take it from there. That’s what Terje Haugen, head of the Fosen reindeer herding district, says. He represents the Nord-Fosen district which has not yet reached an agreement. And he is also not sure that they are close to landing a deal. – Have you received signals that a clarification is approaching? – We cannot say that. – Let’s hope for surprises On Monday, it became known that the mediations between Sør-Fosen sijte and Fosen Vind have resulted in an amicable agreement between the parties. The agreement the parties have now reached will help to ensure further reindeer husbandry, mitigate operational disadvantages, and provide a basis for future cultural practice for Sør-Fosen site from a generational perspective, the agreement states. But the Nord-Fosen site still stands by its demands, including that wind turbines must be demolished at Roan. – We want to demolish parts of the Roan wind power plant. About 40 wind turbines. Haugen says they haven’t heard anything more, and that he is unsure when they can possibly come to an agreement. – It is permissible to hope for surprises.

Here, all parties have stretched themselves to reach a common agreement, says Aneo’s director of communications, Stig Tore Laugen. They are the majority owner of Roan wind farm. He hopes they can also agree. – The ongoing mediation is confidential and we cannot say anything more about its content. We hope that an amicable agreement can also be reached in Nord-Fosen, as has now been done in Sør-Fosen. Director of Communications at Aneo, Stig Tore Laugen. Photo: Kirsti Kringstad / news There may be new actions – It is extremely important to clarify that the Fosen case has not been resolved. I know that I am very afraid that we will let this go now. It would be another betrayal of reindeer husbandry. That’s what Ella Marie Hætta Isaksen told news on Monday. She also says that there may be new campaigns. – It is likely that there will be new demonstrations, because the situation is completely different for Nord-Fosen, says Isaksen. I want to promise on behalf of the action that we will continue to fight together with Nord-Fosen until they are also in a situation that they can also live with. Ella Marie Hætta Isaksen Photo: Dragan Cubrilo / news Happy for agreement Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre says he now hopes for a solution also with the other reindeer owner group at Fosen. An important lesson is that the work on the wind turbines at Fosen should have been more thorough when the concession was originally granted, says Støre. – The concession violated international obligations. It shouldn’t have happened, so that work should have been more thorough. So it has been a tortuous path to arrive at how we correct it. Støre is happy that the National Ombudsman, the developer and the reindeer herders have reached an agreement in the mediations for the southern group, and now he hopes that there will be a solution for the other group. – We have every possible interest as a society to have our Sami interests and business interests linked to reindeer husbandry and to find amicable solutions to this, says Støre.
