Norway's Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stre has rejected early criticism of the proposal. What has been talked about in the European Parliament in recent days... of what Norway is doing does not match reality, Stre said to Norwegian newswire NTB on Wednesday.
He said that the government had penned a letter to President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, to avoid misunderstandings on the matter. I have used the opportunity in recent days to inform European colleagues about what Norway is actually doing. It is not like we are going to give the green light to mining on the seabed. There is not a single project that is under consideration, and not a single green light has been given, Stre said.
