Proposal: the High tax on long flights – Svenska Dagbladet

Photo: Torstein Bøe/TT

Flygskatteutredningen has internally discussed several different levels of taxation for air travel. The lowest level is proposed to be 80 dollars and shall apply for every single flight in Europe and thus also in Sweden. The next level, travel outside Europe within 600 miles, will cost 280 sek and the maximum tax rate, for trips that are longer than this, it is proposed to be 430 dollars.

Children under two years should not tax to be paid for. It is the air carrier to pay the tax.

the Tax can only be levied on departures from uk airports so the total cost for two adults and two children over two years travelling to Thailand will be 1 sek 720, provided that the airlines and tour operators take out the whole of the increase in the cost of the passengers.

A tax rate of sek 80 for shorter flights is what Norway introduced earlier in the year.

The last time there have been loud protests against an airport tax, primarily from politicians in the Norrlandslänen and from the aerospace industry. The majority in the parliament trafikutskott also prepares a statement in which it says no to the tax.

the Voters, however, is positive, according to a survey from the Lining Sifo, commissioned by the Swedish society for nature conservation. More than 70 per cent are fairly or very positive to an airport tax. 20% is fairly or very negative attitudes to the tax.

the Women are to a greater extent than men are positive to the tax, 79 per cent and 67 per cent, are for. Decomposed on partisympati is a majority of the aviation tax in all parties on the basis of the responses in the survey, with the greatest preponderance among the MP-, V – and S-constituents. The least positive overweight is among the SD and the M-voters.

Those who do not want to have the airline tax often claim that the environmental impact is very limited. Experience from Europe shows that the taxes that most brakes the increase of the number of flights slightly.

” There will be some effect, but the treasures that are available today are not jättehöga. They are also not the only policy instrument that is required, ” said Jonas Åkerman, head of research for transport and location analysis at KTH.

Oil up on the decisions from the Vienna – Sveriges Radio

Ekonomireporter Kristian Åström, what does this mean?

– It means that OPEC has achieved something that most experts just a day ago saw as less likely. Then the remains to see what it means in detail. Hopefully we’ll find out who will be reducing in their output at 16-the time when OPEC will hold a press conference. But if the output falling by over a million barrels, the price will go up, for it corresponds to a large part of the surplus that is available today on the market.

Why did so many it as unlikely with a settlement?

Iran and saudi Arabia are each other’s enemies, they stand on different sides in the two wars, Syria and Yemen. In addition, even if they have now reached an agreement, the question is whether countries follow the quotas. There is a history of broken promises within the OPEC.

What is the importance of a higher oil price?

– For the oil-producing countries means a higher price that their economy is improving. The OPEC countries live on their oil. Today, several of them large deficit in the state budget. Either they need to cover the deficits with funded assets, or if they lack a financial buffer to borrow or cut spending. The latter is likely to create social unrest. The worst affected are Nigeria and Venezuela, which is facing both a political and economic crisis. But I think you should add, that if the oil price goes up by 20 per cent, so it is still not enough to get the economy to go up for several of the members.

A higher oil price, how does it affect Sweden?

– Gasoline and diesel will be slightly more expensive at the pump. But since almost 80% of the price consists of taxes, so do not move in the price of petrol is directly related to the price of oil. In addition, the traded oil in dollars and the Swedish krona has weakened sharply against the dollar, so we in Sweden have not received the full dividend on the sharp decline that occurred in the last two years.

higher oil prices also affect inflation, which pleased the Riksbank. A higher price leads to higher inflation and higher inflation affects interest rates.

Finally, the affected Swedish companies within the engineering industry, which can hope for a recovery in investment in the energy sector.

the Doctor should not make the decision not to initiate life-sustaining treatment without involving the patient, both under the Board’s regulations and the profession’s own ethical guidelines.

Comprehensive statistics are lacking, but through the notifications can the newspaper say that it still happened. The magazine has taken some of the seven cases from the Inspection for health care (IVO) from the past few years where patients have been dissatisfied with the information and decisions about life-sustaining treatment. In several of the cases addressed IVO criticism of the health care provider.

At the Karolinska university hospital requested Åsa Millqvist, nurse and lungcancerpatient, out of his own journal. That’s when she noticed: If the heart stopped, she would not be revived.

” I was completely shocked and scared. Dare I go to the emergency room again if I would get shortness of breath? I felt so terribly violated. We have had dialogues that I have a deadly disease, but here decided the doctor over my and my husband’s heads about life and death, ” she says to Dagens Medicin.

“the doctor Had asked, I had said that, yes, I want to be refreshed, but not placed on a ventilator,” she says.

At the Karolinska does not want to answer questions about individual cases.

the medical director Torbjörn Söderström says that the national patient survey of patient shows that all hospitals have challenges in terms of information and participation, and to the Karolinska does not stand out.

” We try to grind our routines, so that they are easy to follow. We need to have good strategies in order to find out if the patient has understood the information and want to be involved, ” he says to Dagens Medicin.

the News will change the company Ericsson, and by extension, perhaps with Sweden.

the IF Metall’s chairman Anders Ferbe has time and again highlighted the relationship between industrial development and production. If the manufacturing is moved, it affects eventually also work with new products.

– What motivates Ericsson to retain the research and development in Sweden if you do not have a production, asks Ferbe in the day’s Work.

And – would you be able to continue – how, Ericsson is able to maintain its position on the rock hard and very competitive telecommunications market if the company can’t offer their own unique solutions developed in close cooperation with your own manufacture?

OECD: Sweden’s growth is dampened considerably …

Sweden’s economic growth has been strong, but expected to decrease significantly over the next two years.

the Shortage of workers and buildable land will dampen residential investment, uncertainty about the global demand and weak exports are holding back business investment and moderate wage increases dampen consumer spending.

It writes the OECD, the industrialised countries of the economic cooperation organization, in its autumn forecast, the Economic Outlook, which was announced on Monday.

the OECD forecast that Sweden’s GDP will grow 3.3 per cent this year and 2.7 per cent in 2017. The year 2018 is expected a GDP growth of 2.2 per cent. In the spring forecast saw the OECD, GDP would increase by 3.4 per cent this year and 2.8 per cent in 2017.

the Unemployment rate flattens out when an increasingly larger part of the unemployed consists of jobseekers with low qualifications are far from the labour market, including newly arrived migrants. A tighter labour market is deemed to gradually help to lift inflation.

the OECD notes that the current very expansive monetary policy stance is a response to a persistent low inflation, but also have a fire on a long “boom” in the housing market, which poses growing risks.

“Stronger” macro-prudential supervision, as a loan in relation to income, is required in order to reduce the financial and macroeconomic vulnerabilities. Simplified plan and hyresregleringar and reformed fastighetskatt would help to stabilise house prices, increasing labour mobility and improving gender equality,” writes the OECD, which also takes up to avtrappade interest deductibility would mitigate the husprisökningarna.

note that The repo rate has remained at -0,50% since the middle of February, which has pushed up prices and inflation expectations, but the recent outcomes has been weak.

The real wage growth is held back by the leading role played by the competitive export industry has in the collective wage negotiations.

“the Salaries will, however, increase when the expansionary monetary policy raises inflation expectations. The high savings rate, partly related to the uncertainty and interest payments, limits consumption growth even further”, writes the OECD.

the Organization notes that Sweden has enough fiscal space as the government debt ratio is low and the budget close to balance. The decision to lower the surplus target from 1 percent of GDP to 0.33 percent of GDP increases the fiscal space somewhat in the coming years.

“There is little need for further economic stimulus, given the strength of the economy. But it is to be welcomed if the fiscal space is used for the temporary costs related to the migration,” according to the OECD adds that in the longer term, the immigration to increase employment, provided that the integration is successful.

the OECD notes that Sweden is a small, open economy that is highly integrated in the global value chains, and therefore are especially vulnerable to weak international handelstillväxt and the development of their trading partners, including China and the united kingdom.

“the exchange rate fluctuations would affect the output, inflation and monetary policy. Interest rates expected to remain low for some time, and a failure to rein in household debt could increase the financial risks and household vulnerability to downturns in house prices and future interest rate increases,” warns the OECD.

Rev designed revision from the previous forecast in June 2016.

Dear shareholders,

We want with this letter to give you an update on the Swedish preliminary investigation in respect of lundin’s Swedish activities in Sudan between 1997 and 2003. We are cooperating fully with the investigation which is now in its seventh year and which, we hope, is in its final stages.

for several years We have tried to get an opportunity to speak with the prosecutor so that we can give him all the information we have about our time in Sudan. We can now announce that the prosecutor has called Alex Schneiter and me to interview and have provided us with the suspicion that is the basis for the investigation. This process is a part of the normal procedure in the Swedish pre-trial investigations and we would like to point out that no charges have been filed, and that this did not mean that a prosecution will be brought.

the Board of directors remains convinced that there are no grounds for any allegations of misconduct by any representative of Lundin. Lundin has always advocated peace in Sudan and this peace must be achieved through peaceful means. It is our firm belief that our activities in Block 5A, through investments in infrastructure and efforts of local people and humanitarian aid, helped to improve the lives of thousands of people.

For more information about our activities in the Sudan, I would refer you to the website and the report "lundin’s Swedish history in the Sudan," which provides a detailed description of our activities in the region between the years 1997 and 2003.

This process does not affect in any way the value of our assets or our business. We continue to deliver strong results and Lundin Petroleum has an exciting future ahead of him. During the third quarter, we increased our production forecast for the full year to between 70 000 and 75 000 boepd and reported a record low verksamhetskostnad of 7.2 USD per barrel, which means that we are on track to achieve our target for the full year of 9.0 USD per barrel. We are also well positioned for our next phase of growth, which will lead to an expected production of 120 000 boepd while production from the Johan Sverdrup Phase 1 starts at the end of 2019.

Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our stakeholders for your continued support of Lundin Petroleum and the company’s exciting future.
