The Norwegian government has collapsed: a scandal over the supply of electricity to the EU

Climatic requirements The EU's transition to green energy and electricity supplies to the EU, which has already provoked high prices in the country, have caused the collapse of the coalition government in Norway. The centrist party has pulled out of a two-party coalition after weeks of skirmishes over the adoption of three EU energy directives.

"Her exit leaves Prime Minister Jonas Gare's center-left Labor Party to run the country alone for the first time in 25 years," writes Politico.

Norway is not a member of the EU, but is obliged to adopt EU laws as a member of the European Economic Area (EEA), unless it uses the right of reservation. The centrist party strongly opposes the EEA agreement, which gives Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein access to the EU's internal market, the newspaper notes.

The party's leader and Finance Minister Trygve Slagsvold Vedum said he could not accept the directives of the fourth EU package on clean energy, aimed at increasing the use of renewable energy sources and encouraging the construction of more energy-efficient infrastructure.

"We say enough is enough, this is the limit. We are doing this in order to change the Norwegian electricity policy and create a dynamic in which we can take steps that can give us lower and stable electricity prices in Norway, and that we should not give away more electricity The EU," said Trygve Slugsvold Vedum.

For more than 50 years, as large oil and gas deposits were discovered in the North Sea, Norway has been one of Europe's main suppliers. And in recent years, it has been actively supplying electricity.

In the conditions of a free market, however, this turned out to be not profitable for Norway. For example, the recent periods of calm in Europe during this heating season have led to serious jumps in electricity prices not only in Germany, but also in Norway itself, from where German companies began to actively import electricity due to its shortage in the country.
