The story of Norway can get a dark turn

Pain in muscles and joints?

It is not difficult to know the historical sus for the time. It simmers in every bush when coronaen puts us to the test. However, there are some sus that røsker a little more than others.

The franco-German axis carries in it centuries of common for Europe and the world as a whole. In the midst of a crisis the French president and the German forbundskansleren agreed on a plan that shows why the relations between Paris and Berlin still is so important. If the proposal they came up with last week goes through, it will be a radical action to get the EU through the crisis. A grip that makes the EUROPEAN union more redistributive, greener, more independent and independent in an uncertain world.

today came the message that the EUROPEAN commission will use the 750 billion euro to the reconstruction of the EUROPEAN union after coronakrisa - that go a long way to go in the slots after the French-German proposal.

For a doe it will be imperative to ask oneself: What will it mean to be the outsider after this?

More about that later, but first a little more about the proposal the president Macron and chancellor Merkel have agreed.

It was not given that the Macron and Merkel would agree. It is essential stridstemaet in the EU since coronakrisen swept over Europe and made the continent to the epicenter of the pandemic, has been byrdefordelingen. Who would pay for all this? It was the nations themselves, or should the EU set up jointly?

The boisterous demand from the worst affected countries, with Italy in the lead, was that the EU had to take up a joint loan, which would help to cover for the damages. This has met - and still meet - almost as loud protests from other parts of the union. Why should taxpayers in Sweden, the Netherlands, Finland and Austria to pay for the collapse in Italy, Spain and Belgium?

the Answer Macron and Merkel have landed on, is: Why not? Coronakrisa is, even though the underlying diseases in the countries ' health care, and government can play a role, almost like a naturkatastofe to rain. It is not like a normal debt crisis, as Greece ended up in for just about a decade ago.

So while Germany was arguing for sparepolitikken that hit Greece hard since the financial crisis, the country has this time made a linjeskifte.

Thus, Macron and Merkel agreed that the EUROPEAN commission in the communities should take up 500 billion euros in loans to contribute to the reconstruction of the economy after the corona, and that the refund will be distributed in all countries by size of gross domestic product.

the Proposal is followed by two at least as radical, but logical responses on the coronakrisa for the EUROPEAN union: The green given shall be governing for the reconstruction. It will in brief say that the economy shall be built up at the same time as the emissions are going down. Also, the Macron and Merkel that the European industries should be protected and favorisers to ensure uavhegighet when comes to strategic technologies such as 5G, and medical equipment.

It remains to be seen if this goes through in the EU system, but Germany and France in the same set of scales weighs heavily. Those wins up, we can safely say that the EU makes "good choices", as we are with small children tend to say in order to support wise decisions. It is not, of course, in the geopolitical present.

stand outside the EU - preferably also outside the EEA have no to the EU-the people of Norway grew the tale of "the outsider". So the world now is evolving, can the story be about to get a dark turn. It will have two main features:

Now are nuclear weapons more and more dangerous Leader

While the EU is embarking on the reconstruction with a green impetus that will take the continent away from reliance on Norwegian gas, hanging Norway after with the restructuring of the economy and locks the prestige and policy development firm in the petroleum sector.

While the EUROPEAN union integrates more closely, the ports of Norway on the outside and in the skvis between a united STATES in the internal conflict, a the united Kingdom, who staggers out of the EUROPEAN union, a China, with ever stronger markeringsbehov and an always unpredictable Russia.

If the EUROPEAN union is now develop stronger self-sufficiency on the inside of the world's largest economic zone, set the Uk faces a choice of pathways: A still close - or closer - alliance with Europe, or a monoman, Trygve Slagsvold Vedum-like the cultivation of a selvstendighetslinje. The past will make us less dependent on Europe, but more dependent on each other.
