Power, interests and institutional resilience: The case of public goods and transatlantic relations in food trade.
Show summary
Food security and food safety are contested issues in international trade negotiations. One important reason is that both issues have a scientific dimension and a political-economic dimension. Although the two issues are closely connected, the political discussions are distinct because they mobilise different domestic interest. A core question regarding food security is ‘who produces the food?’ Hence, producer interests are strongly affected. A core question regarding food safety is ‘how to avoid consumption of unsafe food?’ Thus, consumer interests are strongly affected. Arguably, these different policy-characteristics have consequences for how to balance the interests of important stakeholders in trade negotiations. Food security and food safety are particularly interesting cases because first, they are different with regard to the interests involved, and second, because they belong to the same policy area (food and agricultural policies), and are thus linked to each other within the same trade negotiations. Thus, these cases are well suited for a study of the coordination and balancing of interests in international trade. This paper investigates the role of food security and food safety in transatlantic relation from the start of the Uruguay Round negotiations in GATT in 1986, until the deadlock in TTIP (Transatlantic Trade and Investment partnership) negotiations following the US presidential election in 2016. We ask how the negotiating parties have assessed the risk elements in trade discussions. In this context, the risk elements relate to both health interests of consumers and economic interest of producers. The basic puzzle we address is two-fold: How have EU and US positions on food security and food safety changed over time due to the mobilisation of different interest? How have changes in the balancing of interests affected the potential for reaching an agreement between the two parties? The paper applies an analytical framework based on policy-coordination in order to address these questions. The aim is to identify enabling and constraining factors in trade negotiations. Data is collected through elite interviews and analysis of position papers, legal documents and policy documents.

Governing ‘Wicked Problems’ in a Globalized World: Revisiting the Coordination Dilemma.
Show summary
This paper contributes to the scholarly debate within public administration around ways of dealing with complex and “wicked problems” (Rittel and Webber 1973). Based on the assumption that complex problem-solving require particular attention with regard to organizational design, the paper aims at developing a conceptual framework for analyzing problems, which run across sectors, as well as national borders and levels of governance. The paper’s conceptual framework draws the attention towards 1) horizontal coordination across relevant policy sectors, and 2) vertical coordination across jurisdictions of governance (subnational, national, international). Previous research seems to suggest that strong horizontal and vertical coordination is “difficult” (Peters 1998: 302) or even “impossible” to combine (Egeberg and Trondal 2015). This problem of coordination is referred to as the “coordination dilemma” (ibid.). Based on a review of coordination literature and anecdotal empirical evidence from the management of major global health threats, the paper challenges the assertion that the combination of strong coordination vertically is necessarily incompatible with strong coordination horizontally. The paper concludes by first, arguing that for some types of problems the combination of strong vertical and horizontal coordination is not only possible, but even a necessary condition for effective problem-solving. Second, the paper generates a set of hypotheses on the relevant conditions for effectively combining horizontal and vertical lines of coordination. Issue characteristics, timing of events, and the allocation of authority, i.e. coordination under the “shadow of hierarchy”, are key factors here. The basic argument is that established approaches to coordination fails to take into account key contextual determinants, which are crucial for dealing with the “coordination dilemma”.

The Challenge of Coordination in Food Governance: Governing Animal Welfare in Norway and Sweden.
Show summary
One of the key issues discussed within the fields of public administration and food governance, is how to achieve coordinated implementation of policies, which cut across levels of government as well as across different policy sectors and responsible public agencies. The article addresses this issue by systematically comparing the governing of animal welfare in Norway and Sweden. Animal welfare has become an increasingly important issue in food governance, attracting much attention from academics, political decision-makers, as well as from NGOs, consumers, and the public. Animal welfare is a cross-cutting topic, involving different parts of the agri-food governance system (government agencies, levels of government, farms, slaughterhouses, transport-systems, marketing and advertisement etc.), as well as raising a number of important cross-cutting questions such as ethical aspects, the choice of legal tools, compliance mechanisms, and the challenge of achieving uniform inspection and control. Thus, a study of the public management of animal welfare is well apt, to address the basic and underlying research questions in this article: How to deal with the challenge of coordination? What are the relevant preconditions for achieving uniform management and compliance with public set goals in the agri-food governance system? The paper is part of a larger research project on animal welfare management in Norway (ANIWEL). It is primarily a desktop study based on analysis of literature, reports, and legal and other public documents. However, the desktop study is supplemented by secondary data from existing studies on animal welfare management in Sweden and by primary data collected within the framework of ANIWEL, including interviews with food producers and animal welfare inspectors and a survey conducted among employees of the Norwegian Food Safety Authority (NFSA).

Realization of animal welfare goals in Norway’s food sector.
Show summary
The presentation includes a description of and preliminary findings from, the project ANIWEL (“Realization of animal welfare goals in Norway’s food sector”). The primary objective of ANIWEL is to provide knowledge on how public instruments can be formulated and used in such a way that they effectively pursue the aims of the Norwegian Animal Welfare Act, including Norway’s commitments under the EEA agreement with the EU. The Animal Welfare Act establishes one goal regarding animals (“good animal welfare”) and one goal regarding humans' attitudes to animals (“respect for animals”). Because legislation can promote animal welfare only by regulating human behaviour, we believe that social science is required to understand how the abovementioned goals can be reached. At the core of the project is the relationship between the Norwegian Food Safety Authority and food producers. The project is designed to provide knowledge about the factors that affect this relationship and thus seeks to explain the effectiveness (or lack of effectiveness) of implementation and enforcement of animal welfare regulations. The project aims to contribute to improved management strategies for food inspection authorities-and food producers-in the area of animal welfare. The project consists of three main parts: 1) a study of how food producers respond to public instruments, and how public authorities can apply the instruments effectively to improve animal welfare in primary industries; 2) how the implementation strategies specific to animal welfare in slaughterhouses promote or undermine the implementation of the Animal Welfare Act, and how these strategies affect the inspectors' priorities, communication/enforcement styles and discretion; 3) how coordination (structure of control relations) and specialization (structure of activities and responsibilities) in the animal welfare management system affect implementation's effectiveness. In this presentation, focus is on 2), i.e. management, inspection and control of animal welfare in slaughterhouses. Data for this part of the project have been collected from several sources: (a) public and legal documents + literature; (b) interviews with animal welfare inspectors, employees at slaughterhouses, and animal transporters; (c) field work at two slaughterhouses, including participation in daily routines relevant for the management of animal welfare; and (d) a survey among employees of the Norwegian Food Safety Authority, which is responsible for animal welfare inspections. Preliminary findings show that in order to achieve effective management of animal welfare concerns it is important to take into consideration a number of different factors, of which three key categories are highlighted here: 1) The availability and design of effective legal instruments to be used by animal welfare inspectors – compliance with animal welfare regulations is enhanced by knowledge among food producers about these instruments; 2) The importance of how legal rules and instruments are interpreted and applied in concrete situations – too early escalation from “soft instruments” to “hard instruments” may in effect lead to unnecessary conflict escalation; and 3) Good communication and a high level of trust among inspectors and food producers enhance effective management of and compliance with animal welfare concerns – breakdowns in interpersonal relationships, on the other side, may create “deadlocks”, where problems of managing animal welfare concerns at slaughterhouses persist. Our findings show that management strategies should take into account the accumulated effect of these three categories of factors: legal instruments, interpretation/application, and social interaction/“the human factor”.

Klima- og miljødepartementet (KLD) arbeider med et forslag for utfasing av bruk av torv. Utfasingen gjelder både privat
og landbruksindustriell bruk. Det legges opp til utfasing av torv innen 2030. Hvis det viser seg vanskelig å fase ut torv
innen 2030 skal det legges plan for et mulig utviklingsløp av forskning og utvikling mtp. alternativ utfasingsdato.
Landbruks- og matdepartementet (LMD) har på denne bakgrunn bedt NIBIO vurdere virkninger torvutfasing vil kunne få

TTIP and Norway: Impact and trade policy options.
Norsk utenrikspolitisk institutt.
Full text in Research Archive
Show summary
This study analyzes TTIP, its implications for Norway and Norway’s trade policy choices. TTIP will hardly be concluded under Obama's presidency, but the agreement could become a reality within a few years. TTIP aims at comprehensive cooperation in the regulatory area. In the short term there will be limited harmonization of standards but regulatory cooperation between different systems. In the long term, the goal is stronger cooperation in the regulatory area. TTIP will from what we know not lead to a lowering of European health regulations or a "race to the bottom".
If TTIP is realized and Norway remains outside, the EEA Agreement will be little affected and the overall economic impact is moderate. If Norway joins TTIP, there will be a significant real income gain, with estimates ranging from 2236 to 6772 NOK per capita in the various scenarios. There is considerable variation across sectors. With Norway outside TTIP there will be a moderate negative impact for a majority of the sectors, especially some manufacturing sectors that face tougher competition in the EU and USA export markets. The oil industry will benefit from increased demand and higher prices. If Norway joins TTIP, a clear majority of industries will benefit; especially business services and a number of other service industries. The public sector gains from TTIP, mainly due to cheaper inputs.
TTIP will contribute to the dismantling of import protection for Norwegian agriculture and without compensating measures, production and employment will be reduced. TTIP will still allow some import protection and this margin of maneuver, which depends on future negotiations, is important for the outcome. With a larger margin of manoeuvre and unchanged budgetarty support, most of Norway’s agriculture can be maintained. With less margin of manoeuvre, it will be more challenging.
Norwegian accession to TTIP may occur in the form of a standard trade agreement in which Norway or EFTA are formally equal to the EU and the United States. Alternatively, Norway may participate in a European pillar as in today's "Open Skies" agreement on air traffic. If TTIP succeeds in establishing comprehensive regulatory cooperation, the latter solution is most likely. Such a solution implies that Norway will become more closely integrated with the European Union also in trade policy towards third countries.
Norwegian entry into TTIP implies that we have to accept the established rules and negotiate bilaterally with the EU and the USA on market access. The negotiations with the USA will apply to all aspects of market access, while negotiations with the EU will apply only to areas in which the EEA agreement is not already deeper. The negotiations with the EU for TTIP entry will thus include, among other issues, tariffs for seafood and agriculture.
As an alternative to membership in TTIP, Norway or EFTA may initiate a trade agreement with the USA. Such an agreement would likely be less extensive in the regulatory area. Such an agreement will also provide an economic gain for Norway, but less than accession to TTIP. For Norway as a whole, accession to TTIP creates a real income gain between 12.5 and 35 billion NOK according to various scenarios, while a free trade agreement with the United States results in a gain of about 7.4 billion NOK.
TTIP also includes negotiations on so-called Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS), whereby foreign-owned companies can sue a state if they are unfairly or inappropriately treated. Such rights also exist in national law but international tribunals have to some extent extended the interpretation of what is considered unfair. The European Union has proposed a solution in TTIP with a permanent court as well as rules that discipline the interpretation of the principles, and thus avoids that ISDS unduly interferes into the states’ "right to regulate". This and many other issues are analysed in this report and six background papers.
