About this bill
Committee recommends against increased transparency measures for the Arts Council
The Standing Committee on Family and Culture has considered a private member's bill from Haagen Poppe and Anna Molberg seeking greater openness and democracy in the cultural sector. The proposal asks the government to examine how to increase transparency in the Arts Council's decision-making processes and explore Nordic representation on its expert panels. The committee majority recommends rejecting the proposal, while the Progress Party and Conservative Party minorities support partial changes to current practice.
