The property is owned by the Norwegian company Aktieselskabet Kulpids, which has been privately owned for over 100 years.

The summary is made by a Ki service from Openai. The content is quality assured by news’s \u200b\u200bjournalists before publishing. – This is a good solution for the environment. There is no security risk here, says lawyer Per Kyllingstad, who represents the sellers, to the American finance newspaper Bloomberg. The company that owns the latest privately owned property in Svalbard – S\u00f8re Fagerfjord must have received giant bids for the sale of the company. In a document news has seen, the company claims that several bidders should have offered the company $ 250-300 million, equivalent to NOK 3.1 billion, for the property. Furthermore, it is stated that the shareholders of the company are negotiating with leading global environmental organizations and foundations on the sale of their shares in the company. news has previously revealed that a woman from Russia is the real owner of the property. The Ministry of Trade and Industry has previously maintained that the state must approve any sale, and refers to a decision in June 2024, based on the Security Act. Rationale: National security considerations. Neither the Ministry of Trade and Fisheries nor the lawyer Per Kyllingstad has currently answered news’s \u200b\u200binquiry in the case on Tuesday afternoon. Will sell to environmental funds – and create the climate foundation The property is owned by the Norwegian company Aktieselskabet Kulpids, which for over 100 years has been privately owned. The shareholders are now in negotiations with buyers who, according to lawyer Per Kyllingstad, include “leading global environmental organizations and foundations”. According to documents sent to the state in April, about half of the sales price will go to a new foundation that will work for nature conservation and climate diplomacy in the Arctic. – We have tried in several rounds to sell the property to the state at market price. When the state only offers symbolic amounts, it must be allowed to sell to others, Kyllingstad writes in a document published on the company’s website. Lawyer Per Kyllingstad represents the owners of major cold spids.

She tells the newspaper that the sale “provides a long -term perspective to protect this area from environmental changes”. Want to ensure long -term protection that news has not succeeded in contacting Liodden, which has written a statement about the sale. – We want to establish a long -term steward and climate diplomacy around Svalbard, at a time when threats such as deep -sea mining and oil exploration are pushing further north, writes Birgit Liodden on LinkedIn. She adds the owners with the sale will turn ownership in the Arctic from short -term utilization to long -term protection. – Svalbard has no indigenous peoples in the traditional sense. The wildlife – the whales, the polar bears, the birds and the marine ecosystem – is the original population here. These are the ones we try to protect. Most of Svalbard is protected. The last time the state bought a private Eid property in Svalbard was Austre Adventfjord in 2016. It cost the state NOK 300 million. In addition to four large properties that the Russian state owns via its own mining companies, Norway now controls most of Svalbard. Now the last private property in Svalbard is for sale. It is located south of Svalbard and the owners have asked for over 300 million euros. This corresponds to NOK 3.5 billion. The state offered the property news could reveal in July last year that the government, the same day they stopped the sale of the property, submitted a bid of NOK 20 million. The offer was similar to what the state previously offered the owners of the property. Although the bid was well below the company’s sales price of EUR 300 million, Minister of Industry Cecilie Myrseth (Ap) believed that they made a good bid. – We will negotiate within a realistic framework. The government has previously offered to buy the property for NOK 20 million. It is far above the commercial value, but we believe we can defend this based on the need to achieve peace and stability in the area, Myrseth said in July. Offer: On Tuesday, Government Attorney Fredrik Sejersted presented the government’s bid for AS Kulpids. Photo: Hallvard Norum In response to Government Attorney Fredrik Sejersted, which news has gained access, rejected Kyllingstad The bid from the government. He further rejected the government’s desire for negotiations. – The shareholders of AS Kulpids have had an open approach to the Norwegian authorities, and also offered the state in its time to buy the shares in the company. This was rejected through an offer of purchase to what appeared as a symbolic sum. This still seems to be the state’s standpoint, Kyllingstad wrote in the letter, adding: – In this way, we hardly consider it appropriate with any further meeting on the occasion, all the time the state seems pretty locked. PST notified – the owner has moved to Latvia news has previously shown that the largest owner of the company is a woman who emigrated from Russia and became a Norwegian citizen in 1995. She today controls over 50 percent of the shares in the Response Company Kulpids, the holding company that owns the site. The woman is still a Norwegian citizen, but today resides in Latvia. The Police Security Service (PST) is connected to the case. They will not confirm details, but have previously warned that foreign acquisitions in the northern areas can be used as a tool of foreign powers.
