Og de har fått store frihetsgrader i utformingen av trinnene for kapasitetsleddet. Administrasjonen i Fagne har valgt med innstegstrinnet å straffe de som bruker lite., og sparer. Det er egentlig å straffe strømsparing. STYRET i Fagne kan påsjekke og instruere Fagnes administrasjon, ja det er faktisk deres oppgave å kontrollere selskapet strategi og forretningsførsel. DET bør styret tydeliggjøre at de gjør i dette tilfellet.
Og så er det betryggende at der er en sikkerhetsventil.
At den nye nettleiemodellen fra 1. juli 2022 nå skal vurderes om den så å si har effekt.
I mellomtiden må det sies at administrasjonen i Fagne sine kommentarer om hvor vanskelig det er å justere det første innstegtrinnet ... den kommentaren gir et dårlig inntrykk.
Ja det står ikke til troende at en oppegående administrasjon med gode systemer ikke får noe så enkelt til. Da må man bytte ut administrasjonen.
2024 må bli året for avklaring. ............................
EDIT 25. februar 2024
Ovenstående innlegg er borte, det er tydeligvis slettet av Aftenpostens moderatur. Årsaken kan være at det er gått med i dragsuget ved å være svar på en annen innsenders innlegg. Jeg har lagt innlegget inn på nytt, og endret innledningen til:
Både "Vestbredden" og "Golanhøyden" går under hovedgruppe LAND i menyen.
Ja, det er riktig at "Israelsk bosetning" er gitt som opplysning., der det er aktuelt , for det enkelte produkt. DET er en ganske uskyldig formulering. Det er her snakk om brudd på 4. Geneve-konvensjon 49.6, som ligger i konvensjonens kapitel: Krigsforbrytelser.
Det man må fokusere på er det FIRMA som velger å importere slik "ulovlig okkupasjonsvin". Det er disse som må eksponeres. Slik at den enkelte forbruker kan velge å forholde seg til HELE sortimentet fra slike leverandører., som eWine og AMKA AS.
Her kunne jo noen oppegående journalister engasjere seg og uteske disse leverandørene, hvem de er, og hvordan de tenker.
Da hadde den internasjonale domstolen i Haag allerede 3 dager tidligere dømt: "Top UN court orders Israel to prevent genocide in Gaza but stops short of ordering cease-fire"
Gjenvinning av plast er ingen enkel oppgave. En fersk analyse publisert i The Guardian angir:
"‘They lied’: plastics producers deceived public about recycling, report reveals"
"Companies knew for decades recycling was not viable but promoted it regardless, Center for Climate Integrity study finds.
Plastic producers have known for more than 30
years that recycling is not an economically or technically feasible
plastic waste management solution. That has not stopped them from
promoting it, according to a new report.
“The
companies lied,” said Richard Wiles, president of fossil-fuel
accountability advocacy group the Center for Climate Integrity (CCI),
which published the report. “It’s time to hold them accountable for the
damage they’ve caused.
Plastic,
which is made from oil and gas, is notoriously difficult to recycle.
Doing so requires meticulous sorting, since most of the thousands of
chemically distinct varieties of plastic cannot be recycled together.
That renders an already pricey process even more expensive. Another
challenge: the material degrades each time it is reused, meaning it can
generally only be reused once or twice.
The industry has known for decades about these existential challenges,
but obscured that information in its marketing campaigns, the report shows."

Tydeligvis er gjenvinning av usortert plast vanskelig både teknisk og økonomisk. Da spørs det hva dette vil bety videre for plastgjenvinning.

"The Illegal Settlement Enterprise Is Eroding Israel's Legitimacy"
Avslutning av lederartikkelen:
"It is good that the international community has decided to draw a clear
boundary between the legitimate State of Israel and the illegal
settlement enterprise, which is eroding Israel's legitimacy. The lack of
a distinction between sovereign Israel and the occupied territories
serves those who dream of annexing the West Bank
and imposing apartheid. For anyone who wants to live in a country that
doesn't rule over another people, such steps, in addition to
international recognition of a Palestinian state, will advance the
future implementation of a solution involving two states for two
peoples."
Klar melding. Og det er tydelig at tiltakene og presset må komme utenfra.
Sterk og tydelig melding er også flere av kommentarene under Haaretz-artikkelen. Der presiseres det at det er HELE "bosetter"-aktiviteten som må sankasjoneres, og ikke bare noen få voldelige enkeltpersoner.
Powerful words by 102 years old philosopher Edgar Morin, one of France's most revered intellectual figures, as well as a Jewish WW2 resistant who fought as a lieutenant in De Gaulle's France combattante.

Here are his words on Gaza: "I am both astonished and outraged by the fact that those who represent the descendants of a people who were persecuted for centuries for religious or racial reasons... That the descendants of this people who are today the decision-makers of the State of Israel, that they could not only colonize an entire people, partly drive them out of their land and seek to expel them for good... But also, after the massacre of October 7, engaged in a real massive slaughter on the populations of Gaza and continue, incessantly, hitting civilians, women, and children.
And to see the silence of the world, the silence of the United States, protectors of Israel, the silence of the Arab states, the silence of the European states who claim to be defenders of culture, humanity, human rights.
I think we are living through a horrible tragedy because we are also powerless in the face of this thing that is unleashing. At least, I say: bear witness! The only thing that remains if we cannot resist concretely is to testify. Let's resist in our minds, let's not be fooled, let's not forget, let's have the courage to face things head-on." ..................

Fagartikkel om regjeringsavtalen i Israel der Smotrich får en stilling i Forsvarsdepartementet OG ansvaret for Siviladministrasjonenen av okkuperte palestinske områder:
Forfattet av: "The Israeli Law Professors Forum for Democracy"
"Position Paper No 24: Implications of the Agreement Subordinating the Civil Administration to the Additional Minister in the Ministry of Defense"
We find that: ● The power sharing agreement signed on 23 February 2023 between the Minister of Defense and the Additional Minister in the Ministry of Defense, transfers most of the powers of the Civil Administration, the military body charged with management of civil aspects of the military government in the West Bank, to MK Bezalel Smotrich, the Additional Minister. ● The transfer of responsibility for, and management of, the Territories to civilian hands (a minister in the Ministry of Defense, albeit in coordination with the Minister of Defense and subject to the approval of the Prime Minister) constitutes an explicit and public subordination of the West Bank’s management to national and social interests of the state, in direct contravention of international law. ● The agreement is an overt and formal measure that gives validity to claims that Israel’s practices constitute apartheid, which is prohibited under international law.
USA har innført sanksjoner mot "voldelige bosettere", 4 stk sålangt. I en artikkel i The Guardian gjennomgår Michael Schaeffer Omer-Man hvor virkningsfulle slike sanksjoner er:
"Israeli settlements stand in the way of peace. Biden can defund them all"
"If the president is serious about recognising Palestinian statehood, defunding the settlements would be a great first step."
Etter å ha gitt en rekke eksempler på innholdet i sanksjonene, og hvor inngripende og omfattende de er for de som råkes, så avslutter Omer-Man slik:
"The Biden Administration has been floating the idea of recognizing
Palestinians statehood as an immovable paving stone in a path that
eventually leads to a two-state solution. If the president is serious
about that, defunding the settlements would be a great first step. If
not, it will be a sign that the executive order was for domestic
political consumption."
EDIT 26, mars 2024 USA klargjør at disse sankjsonerte bosetterne allikevel skal ha midler til livets opphold, se Ny Info under her. Et paradoks i lys av at USA nettopp har frosset tilskudd til UNRWA i minst ett år. For palestinerne gjelder andre regler mht til "livets opphold"?

Palestinian pupils study in a classroom in the village of Ras a-Tin, east of Ramallah in the West Bank.Alex Levac
In June, Germany’s Georg Eckert Institute for International Textbook Research published a comprehensive survey
of textbooks used in the Palestinian Authority school system. Over the
course of 18 months a research team analyzed 156 textbooks and 16
teacher guides published by the Palestinian Education Ministry between
2017 and 2019, as part of a curriculum and textbook reform initiated by
the PA for all subjects taught in grades 1-12. The GEI study examined
content in Palestinian textbooks addressing hate or violence, the
promotion of peace and religious coexistence as well as elements
addressing reconciliation, tolerance and the observation of human
rights. The research was funded in its entirety by the European Union,
and the materials were analyzed on the basis of UNESCO-defined criteria of peace, tolerance and nonviolence in education.
As with any comprehensive study of such a complicated subject, the findings are complex and can be interpreted in various ways.
Conservatives in Europe and in the United States (especially in the
U.S. Congress) pounced on it, some of them with a push from
anti-Palestinian conservatives in Israel. The reactions from the other
side, however, have been few, perhaps because the obsession with
Palestinian textbooks is perceived, correctly, as an amusement reserved
for the right. But the left cannot exclude itself from the playing field
on which the rules of the game and the balance of power between the
occupier and its allies on one side and the occupied on the other are
determined. I will address the research and its findings while paying
attention to the framework defined for it, to what is in it and
especially to what is not in it.
First, the research team’s statement, in a press release,
that its work provides a “comprehensive and objective analysis” of
Palestinian textbooks is puzzling by all accounts. The analysis is
indeed very comprehensive, but the extent of its objectivity can only by
evaluated by readers with a range of perspectives, not the authors.
Such a statement is unusual when voiced by such a reputable textbook
research institution as GEI, and raises a creeping suspicion that it is
not by chance.
A 200-page report of a study funded by the EU and devoted entirely to
examining the textbooks of one side of the conflict – the vanquished
side – is inherently flawed. Students in the state education systems in
Israel and in the occupied Palestinian territories do not learn about
each other in a vacuum. The balance of power between Israel, which
denies the growing violence required to maintain the occupation, and the
Palestinians, dictates the framework and the narratives that are taught
in each.

The research of Profs. Daniel Bar-Tal and Sami Adwan, whose review
and comparison of textbooks on both sides by a joint Israeli/Palestinian
research team yielded fascinating findings, is an example of how
research on the textbooks of two societies that are involved in an
intractable conflict can and should be carried out. It is surprising
that an EU-funded study ignores such a necessary comparative
methodology, the kind that is reflected even in the doctoral
dissertation of Yifat Shasha-Biton, a senior member of a moderate
right-wing party who serves as Israel’s education minister.
One-sided objectivity
The very notion of examining only Palestinian textbooks with a
fine-tooth comb, while completely ignoring their mirror image in Israeli
textbooks, is fundamentally tendentious. It’s hard to believe that
political considerations were not involved in the decision, the result
in part of ongoing pressure from IMPACT-SE, a conservative Israeli
nongovernmental organization, on the EU and on the British government, a
contributor to the PA and to the UN Relief and Works Agency – pressure
that was also expressed as “assistance” in drawing up EU legislation
that includes Palestinian textbooks only.
One of the leaders of the one-sided criticism of Palestinian
textbooks in the European Parliament is Monika Hohlmeier, a conservative
MEP from Germany. The pressure for such a study began effectively in a
proposal she pushed through the EU Committee on Budgetary Control in
2018 that focused solely on criticizing the Palestinian textbooks and
curricula. In these circumstances, the GEI research team’s insistence on
its “objectivity” is mere whistling in the dark.
Given that the study’s objective is to focus on the response of the
occupied population to the violence of the occupier, our only option is
to make the best of a bad situation and extract from it a few important
findings and insights for the benefit of the fight against the
occupation and the pursuit of Palestinian independence.
One of the important things about the study is the team’s clear
determination that the characterization of Palestinian textbooks in the
studies published by IMPACT-SE suffer from “generalising and exaggerated
conclusions based on methodological shortcomings” (p. 15). In contrast,
binational comparative studies of Palestinian and Israeli textbooks,
including that of Bar-Tal and Adwan, are mentioned favorably. We can
only hope that the editors of the Ynet news website, who in recent years
have given IMPACT-SE a broad platform, remember this in the future.
The research team offers a passing reference to the Palestinian Education Ministry’s determination that international law
permits resistance – by implication, violent resistance – to an
occupying power (p. 20). This is a very complex legal issue, and it is
impossible to analyze the attitude to it in the Palestinian textbooks
without addressing it seriously. It seems that the team tried to have it
both ways and failed. In any event, its recognition of the occupation
and of the legitimacy of resisting it, at least nonviolently, stands out
as a lone voice in the wilderness of conservative studies generated by
Israeli organizations, led by IMPACT-SE. These organizations have never
heard of the Israeli occupation in the territories, apparently, and
therefore cannot recognize the legitimacy of any form of resistance.
The distinction among different types of resistance, and between
violent resistance directed against an army versus that targeting
civilians, is a good beginning for any future examination of Palestinian
textbooks, and GEI did well to find a place for it, even if cautiously
and indistinctly. It is nevertheless hard not to wonder about the
discovery of the “narrative of resistance” to the occupation and the
“antagonism towards Israel” in the textbooks.
Sympathy for the occupier?
Did the researchers forget that the occupation is more present than
ever, and that every day Israel works very hard, directly and through
its settler emissaries, to tarnish its image in the eyes of the
Palestinians in the territories? In these circumstances, is it possible
to expect narratives sympathetic to Israel?
Finally, and perhaps most important: The study’s findings
unequivocally refute the exaggerated and overgeneralized accusations by
conservative Israeli organizations about antisemitism and incitement to
violence in Palestinian textbooks. It reveals “numerous instances [in
which] the textbooks call for tolerance, mercy, forgiveness and justice”
and distinguishes among various types of Palestinian criticism of
Israel and among textbooks in various subjects (such as religious
studies).
Palestinian textbooks do contain examples of antisemitism, incitement
to violence, glorification of violence and dehumanization of Jews or
Israelis, but according to the researchers their frequency is limited.
But this bears repeating: The Palestinian nation would have to be a
saint for its textbooks to be completely free of such examples, in light
of the expanding occupation, the widespread dispossession and the
dehumanization from the Israeli side, which are supported by the
enormous resources that are at the disposal of the strong party in the
conflict.
Given the inherent limitations of the study, and the framework
imposed on it, these are important insights that should set a minimum
threshold for future research on the subject. It would be better, of
course, for these studies to be comparative and deeply rooted in the
context of the occupation, in order to deserve the descriptor
“objective.”

"Atlantic Ocean circulation nearing ‘devastating’ tipping point, study finds"
"The circulation of the Atlantic Ocean is heading towards a tipping point that is “bad news for the climate system and humanity”, a study has found.
The scientists behind the research said they were shocked at the forecast speed of collapse once the point is reached, although they said it was not yet possible to predict how soon that would happen."
Det er økt tilførsel av ferskvann fra issmelting på Grønland og Sydpolen som påvirker salthet i havet. Og dermed påvirkes hvordan dybdeutvekslingen av vann skjer i havene.
Uklart "the tipping point" kan komme. Men virkningene når dette skjer, de vil være raske. Og gjøre Europa mye kaldere ...
