About this bill
Business Committee rejects proposal to allow continued fishing in Oslo Fjord
Seven MPs—Erlend Wiborg, Bengt Rune Strifeldt, Jon Engen-Helgheim, Bård Hoksrud, Morten Stordalen, Liv Gustavsen, and Himanshu Gulati—introduced a bill to halt the planned introduction of no-fishing zones in Oslo Fjord and permit fishing to resume. The Standing Committee on Business and Industry recommends that the Storting reject the proposal. Committee members from different parties disagreed sharply: some argued that no-fishing zones are essential to reverse the fjord's environmental crisis, while others contended they represent unnecessary overreach and proposed alternative measures instead.
