Anglais

Date limite: 30 Sep 2022

Description

Norway joined the EITI in 2009. Norway’s Validation against the 2019 EITI Standard is scheduled to commence on 1 October 2022.

I accordance with the Validation procedure, the EITI International Secretariat is seeking stakeholder views on Norway’s progress in implementing the EITI Standard between February 2019 and September 2022.

The EITI Standard requires that the government, extractive companies and civil society are fully, actively and effectively engaged in EITI implementation. The Secretariat is seeking views whether this requirement is satisfied by the existing public governance mechanisms, as anticipated in the Norway’s adapted model for EITI implementation and mainstreaming. In particular, the Secretariat seeks views on the following questions:

Do the participatory and consultative mechanisms that already underpin Norwegian extractive sector governance and the annual meeting Petroleum Sector governance adequately guarantee multi-stakeholder oversight of the natural resource governance.
Do these mechanisms adequately guarantee the engagement of companies and civil society in EITI implementation?
Do the channels underpinning Norway’s national debate adequately assure public awareness and public debate on natural resource revenue management?
Does the EITI Norway adapted implementation and mainstreaming arrangement meet the needs of Norwegian stakeholders including the approach to data assurance?
Are oil and gas companies providing or disclosing the data required by the EITI Standard in accordance with the adaptations for Norwegian implementation of the EITI?

Instructions

Stakeholders are requested to send views to the Validation team led by Christopher Wilson (cwilson@eiti.org) by 1 October 2022.

A propos de l'ITIE

Nous considérons que les ressources naturelles d’un pays appartiennent à ses citoyens. Notre mission consiste à promouvoir la compréhension de la gestion des ressources naturelles, à renforcer la gouvernance et la redevabilité publiques et des entreprises, et à fournir les données nécessaires à l’élaboration des politiques et au dialogue multipartite dans le secteur extractif. En devenant membres de l’ITIE, les pays s’engagent à divulguer des informations sur l’ensemble de la chaîne de valeur de l’industrie extractive – des conditions d’octroi des droits d’extraction, à la manière dont les revenus parviennent au gouvernement et profitent à la population. Par le biais de la participation à l’ITIE, 56 pays ont adopté un ensemble de règles communes régissant ce qui doit être divulgué et quand – la Norme ITIE. Dans chacun des pays ayant adhéré à l’ITIE, un groupe multipartite composé de représentants du gouvernement, des entreprises et de la société civile apporte son soutien à la mise en œuvre de la Norme ITIE.
