Cum vede un ambasador sistemul judecatoresc din Romania comparativ cu cel din Norvegia si cum ii este afectata activitatea diplomatica de cadrul legislativ din tara respectiva? Cat dureaza un proces de mare coruptie intr-una din cele mai dezvoltate tari din Europa? Cum se vede justitia din Romania comparativ cu cea din Norvegia? Ambasadorul Norvegiei in Romania, Øystein Hovdkinn, a discutat online cu cititorii luni, de la ora 14.00 despre diferentele dintre sistemul juridic romanesc si cel norvegian.
Øystein Hovdkinn este ambasadorul Norvegiei in Romania si Republica Moldova din 2008. A fost jurnalist la Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation intre 1972 si 1973. A lucrat ca reprezentant al diplomatiei norvegiene in Canberra, Bruxelles, Bonn si Vienna.
A fost consul general al Norvegiei in Scotia intre 2006 si 2008, dupa care si-a inceput misiunea ca ambasador in Romania si Republica Moldova.
Ambasadorul Oystein Hovdkinn a spus ca, din 2009 pana in 2011 Norvegia sustine 70 de proiecte cu o suma de aproximativ 100 de milioane de euro, iar pana in 2014 aceasta suma va fi triplata si va ajunge in total la aproximativ 300 de milioane de euro.
1) Se poate ca un judecator, o instanta sa anuleze o lege, o Ordonanta a Gunernului, sa o declare ilegala?
2) Se poate ca o problema a unui judecator cu statul sa fie judecata de alt judecator?
3) Se poate ca un proces sa fie suspendat prin faptul ca partea acuzata din proces cere Curtii Constitutionale sa se pronunte asupra constitutionalitatii legii prin care e incriminat?
2. It's not very clear. We have only few cases in Norway of judges accused of corruption. I don't know of any case like this. He would have to be judge by a court consist by other judges. It's only theoretical, I don't know of any case like this in Norway.
3.To my knowledge the answer is no.
It's not possible.
Few years ago, in March 2006 I went to Oslo for a training course. In general, everywhere I go I prefer to walk and to use public transportation which gives me the chance to better understand people and places. This way I found out for example that in Oslo even the lady who sells tram tickets speaks decent English. I used to have then two mobile phones: a company one and a personal one. One morning I was in class, waiting for the course to start when I got a phone call from my wife on my company phone asking me where is my personal one. I checked and concluded: "I've got no idea". Then she said: "You've just lost it, someone found it in the tram, called me and gave me this number...." I passed the number to the secretary of the company organizing the training course and had my mobile in my pocket at the first break. This is something Sir, and Oslo citizens deserve all the respect for this.
And, finally, to ask you a question: Sir, you sure your country is not a EU member? Romanian politicians seem very keen to put you in. :)
All the best Sir and big thanks you keeping an eye on our politicians. Some of us desperately need it.

Norwegian companies have another big problem, not corruption: heavy and big bureaucracy.
Thank you a lot ! A.B.
Norway is one of the countries in Europe with the highest needs for professionals, we need people with qualifications, without them we cannot function.
Several thousands of Romanians have found employment in Norway in health sector, construction industry, as architects and engineers. They are very welcomed and we will continue to welcome citizens who want to come to work in Norway.
Ne puteti spune, care ar fi primele 5 masuri pe care le-ati lua, pentru a eficientizarea sistemului juridic din Romania?
Va multumesc!
In Norvegia is the same ? The infractors are arrested and after that they are free to make their affairs ahead and destroy Norvegian country like Romania is ?
Va doresc dvs. si intregului popor norvegian felicitari si cele mai calde urari de bine.
Ce mecanisme de control si criterii de calitate are Norvegia pt a se asigura ca cei 300 mil Euro acordate de Norvegia sint folositi in acord cu intentiile dvs? Nu exista riscul ca aceste resurse sa treaca drept "romanesti" si sa dea un credit nemeritat autoritatilor romane prelungind in acest fel o guvernare ineficienta, corupta si iresponsabila?
Based on these experience, I'm rather confident we will avoid abuse.
Multumesc
I think the most important thing is that corruption is a completely tabu thing in Norwegian society. For a politician, for a judge, for a police man, for a medical doctor to be accused of corruption would immediately stigmatised his image and put and end to his career.
This has become a part of our mentality, of our culture, which is much more important than law and judicial system. I think in the public sector, corruption is more or less non-existing.
In the private sector, we have had cases of corruption and economic crime. Since 1999 we have a public body called Norwegian National Authority for Investigation and Prosecution of Economic and Environmental Crime. Economic crime doesn't mean only corruption, but it includes corruption.

We also plan different activities linked to our economical projects next year.
We cannot do anything to change as an embassy, it is a commercial problem.
I don't want to interfere, but if it's possible in so many countries, you could do this in Romania as well.
