    Udskriftsdato: 2. oktober 2021 2017/1 BTB 91 (Gældende) Betænkning over Forslag til folketingsbeslutning om en uvildig undersøgelse af udlændinge­ og integrationsministerens håndtering af adskilt indkvartering af mindreårige gifte eller samlevende asylansøgere Ministerium: Folketinget Betænkning afgivet af Udvalget for Forretningsordenen den 23. maj 2018 Betænkning over Forslag til folketingsbeslutning om en uvildig undersøgelse af udlændinge- og integrationsministerens håndtering af adskilt indkvartering af mindreårige gifte eller samlevende asylansøgere [af Mattias Tesfaye (S), Nikolaj Villumsen (EL), Josephine Fock (ALT), Sofie Carsten Nielsen (RV) og Holger K. Nielsen (SF)] 1. Udvalgsarbejdet Beslutningsforslaget blev fremsat den 14. marts 2018 og var til 1. behandling den 26. april 2018. Be- slutningsforslaget blev efter 1. behandling henvist til behandling i Udvalget for Forretningsordenen. Møder Udvalget har behandlet beslutningsforslaget i 2 møder. 2. Indstillinger og politiske bemærkninger Et flertal i udvalget (DF, V, LA og KF) indstiller beslutningsforslaget til forkastelse. Flertallet konstaterer, at sagen om udlændinge- og integrationsministerens håndtering af adskilt ind- kvartering af mindreårige gifte eller samlevende asylansøgere er blevet diskuteret i mange, lange samråd, og at sagen derfor er belyst. Flertallet konstaterer samtidig, at ministeren flere gange har redegjort for forløbet. Det er sket både skriftligt og mundtligt. Flertallet konstaterer også, at den kritik, som Folketingets Ombudsmand rettede mod forløbet i 2017, er en kritik, som udlændinge- og integrationsministeren har taget til efterretning. Det gælder både kritikken af selve ordlyden i pressemeddelelsen og kritikken af, at pressemeddelelsen medførte en risiko for forkerte afgørelser. Flertallet mener, at det afgørende har været, at der blev lagt en så restriktiv linje som muligt. For flertallet ønsker at beskytte pigerne bedst muligt, og flertallet ønsker at bekæmpe skikken med barnebru- de.

  • Danish Banking Before and After the Napoleonic Wars
    DANISH BANKING BEFORE AND AFTER THE NAPOLEONIC WARS Michael Märcher MICHAEL MÄRCHER 127 DANISH BANKING BEFORE AND A F T E R T H E N A P O L E O N I C W A R S : A SURVEY OF DANISH BANKING, 1736–1857 Expensive armament during ‘The Seven Years’ War (1756-1763) led to excessive note-issuing from the only bank, Kurantbanken, in Denmark. One of the con- sequences was that the notes were declared inconvertible in 1757. This difficult situation for the monetary system and banking in Denmark generally lasted from 1757, through the bankruptcy of the state in 1813 and the founding of the Danish central bank, Danmarks Nationalbank, in 1818, until the reintroduction of the silver standard in 1845. The first two commercial banks in Denmark, Centralkassen i Kjøbenhavn and Fyens Discontokasse, were founded in 1829 and 1846 respectively, and the latter became quite important. The first large, modern, and significant -com 1 mercial bank was however the Privatbanken i Kjøbenhavn founded in 1857. This article presents main features in Danish banking before 1857 and consists of two main chapters: the first covers the period before the Napo- 2 leonic Wars, the second deals with the period after.

Its objective is to ensure a robust economy in Denmark, and Danmarks Nationalbank holds a range of responsibilities of vital socioeconomic importance. The Danmarks Nationalbank building is centrally located in Copen­ hagen and is a distinctive presence in the urban landscape. The build­ ing, which was built in the period 1965–78, was designed by interna­ tionally renowned Danish architect Arne Jacobsen. It is considered to be one of his principal works. In 2009, it became the youngest building in Denmark to be listed as a historical site. When the building was listed, the Danish Agency for Culture highlighted five elements that make it historically significant: 1. The building’s architectural appearance in the urban landscape 2. The building’s layout and spatial qualities 3. The exquisite use of materials 4. The keen attention to detail 5. The surrounding gardens This publication presents the Danmarks Nationalbank building, its architecture, interiors and the surrounding gardens. For the most part, the interiors are shown as they appear today.

  • Hvad Kan Statsministeren Oplyse Om Den Indenrigs- Og Udenrigspolit
    2) Forespørgsel nr. F 31: Forespørgsel til statsministeren: Hvad kan statsministeren oplyse om den indenrigs- og udenrigspolitiske situation? Af Inger Støjbjerg (V), Henrik Sass Larsen (S), Pia Kjærsgaard (DF), Villy Søvndal (SF), Henriette Kjær (KF), Margrethe Vestager (RV), Line Barfod (EL), Anders Samuelsen (NY), Gitte Seeberg (UFG) og Pia Christmas-Møller (UFG). (Anmeldelse 29.04.2008. Fremme 06.05.2008). Kl. 09:03 Formanden: Vi starter med begrundelsen for forespørgslen, og det er ordføreren for forespørgerne, fru Inger Støjberg. Begrundelse Kl. 09:04 Inger Støjberg (V): Begrundelsen for forespørgslen er naturligvis den, at folketingsåret lakker mod enden, og jeg skal derfor bede statsministeren om at redegøre for den indenrigspolitiske og udenrigspolitiske situation. Kl. 09:04 Formanden: Tak. Og derfor får statsministeren nu ordet til besvarelsen. Besvarelse Kl. 09:04 Statsministeren (Anders Fogh Rasmussen): Danmark er et godt land at leve i. Det danske samfund er et stærkt samfund. Danmark er et frit og fredeligt land - og et velstående land. Dansk økonomi er blandt de stærkeste i Europa. Arbejdsløsheden er nu nede under 2 pct. Det er under 50.000 arbejdsløse. Aldrig har så mange været i arbejde i Danmark. Beskæftigelsen er vokset med omkring 90.000, siden VK-regeringen trådte til i slutningen af 2001. Der er overskud på betalingsbalancen, og vi nedbringer hastigt statens gamle gæld. Dansk økonomi er sundere og stærkere end nogen sinde. Det skal vi naturligvis glæde os over. Men de gode tider lægger også et enormt pres på økonomien. Især er der et stort pres på arbejdsmarkedet. Lønstigningerne er væsentlig højere end i de lande, vi handler med, og det svækker konkurrenceevnen.
