17 November 2022 at 17:17 Vedum asks the five largest farming companies to turn around: – Stupid and surprising that they do not want the meeting Finance Minister Trygve Slagsvold Vedum (Sp) is disappointed that the five largest farming companies are canceling the meeting with the government on Friday. He hopes they will turn around. – I think it is stupid and surprising that the companies do not want the meeting and would rather send someone to do the lobbying for them, says Vedum to NTB. On Thursday afternoon, the CEO of Sjømat Norge confirmed that the five farming companies will not meet the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Fisheries on Friday as planned. There it was expected that the government’s decision to introduce ground rent tax on the seafood industry would become a hot topic. Vedum emphasizes that it has never been a question of removing taxation, but that it is still in the companies’ interest to show up. – They make their own assessments, but my door is always open.
