New Sval­bard White­pa­per published

The Nor­we­gi­an govern­ment publishes a new white paper about every 10 years to defi­ne a frame for the fur­ther deve­lo­p­ment of Sval­bard. The latest one was issued 17 April as “Stortings­mel­ding No 22, 2008-2009” and under­lines the future importance of coal mining and sci­ence for the local eco­no­my and deve­lo­p­ment. Also tou­rism will be deve­lo­ped careful­ly, focus­sing on cen­tral are­as around Lon­gye­ar­by­en. A watchful eye will be kept on crui­se tou­rism in the East Sval­bard natu­re reser­ves, an issue that has recent­ly been dis­cus­sed con­tro­ver­si­al­ly. The importance of local jobs and eco­no­my is empha­si­zed.

Important mile­stone: “Stortings­mel­ding
