    SAMFUNNSØKONOMISK ANALYSE AV NORSK OFFENTLIG SATSING PÅ ROMVIRKSOMHET AV LEO A. GRÜNFELD, ANDERS M. HELSETH, TORI H. LØGE OG MAGNE AARSET RAPPORT NR. 21/2017, MARS Forord På oppdrag fra Nærings- og fiskeridepartement har Menon Economics i denne rapporten analysert om den norske satsingen på romvirksomhet er samfunnsøkonomisk lønnsom, og om innretningen er hensiktsmessig for å nå målene som er nedfelt i Meld. St. 32 (2012–2013). Arbeidet må anses som en videreføring og utvidelse av det vurderingsarbeid som ble utført av Menon Economics i 2016 knyttet til Norges deltakelse i ESAs frivillige romprogrammer og tilskuddsordningen «Nasjonale følgemidler». Analysen har vært ledet av Menons forskningsleder Leo Grünfeld. Vi har også hentet mye ut gjennom samarbeid med Magne Aarset i Terp AS. Vi takker departementet for et spennende oppdrag. Vi takker også Norsk Romsenter og en lang rekke intervjuobjekter for verdifull veiledning og kunnskapsformidling innen et felt som er teknisk og strukturelt komplisert å dekke. Forfatterne står ansvarlig for alt innhold og alle vurderinger i rapporten. ______________________ Oslo, mars 2017 Leo A Grünfeld Prosjektleder Menon Economics MENON ECONOMICS 1 Innhold FORORD 1 SAMMENDRAG 4 Kort om romsatsningen 4 Kort om problemer knyttet til samfunnsøkonomisk verdsetting 5 Vurdering av ulike alternativer 6 Kort om usikkerhet 8 1.

  • Anbefaling Om Statlig Forskrift for Kommunene I Viken Og Gran Kommune I Innlandet Fra Midnatt Natt Til 16.3.2021
    15.3.2021 Anbefaling om statlig forskrift for kommunene i Viken og Gran kommune i Innlandet fra midnatt natt til 16.3.2021 Oppsummering • Helsedirektoratet anbefaler iverksettelse av tiltak i samsvar med covid-19-forskriften kapittel 5A for kommunene i Viken fylke og Gran kommune i Innlandet • Tiltakene anbefales iverksatt fra midnatt natt til 16.3.2021 med varighet til og med 11. april 2021 • I møte med Statsforvalteren i Oslo og Viken, kommunene, FHI og Helsedirektoratet svarte 23 kommuner at de ønsket å bli omfattet av kapittel 5A i Covid-19 forskriften, 13 svarte nei, 3 var usikre og de øvrige tok ikke ordet i møtet. Statsforvalter begynte møtet med at hun ønsket at de kommunene som ikke ønsket å bli omfattet av forskriften tok ordet. Gran kommune i Innlandet ønsket å omfattes av forskriften på grunn av nærhet til Lunner og tett kontakt til Oslo. • Helsedirektoratet og FHI mener det er behov for sterke tiltak i kommuner som har en raskt økende smittetrend. Det er betydelig forskjell på smittetrykket mellom ulike kommuner i Viken. Likevel vil Helsedirektoratet og FHI anbefale at vedtaket omfatter hele fylket. I Viken dominerer den engelske virusvarianten med økt smittsomhet. Det er behov for tiltak som begrenser mobilitet gjennom pendling og sosiale og kulturelle aktiviteter mellom kommunene. Over halvparten av kommunene i Viken melder om utfordringer med TISK-kapasiteten. Kapasiteten i spesialisthelsetjenesten i Helse Sør-Øst er presset klinisk på grunn et høyt antall innleggelser og på laboratoriene på grunn av høyt prøvevolum. • Kommunene må til enhver tid konkret vurdere behovet for lokale vedtak og anbefalinger i tillegg, avhengig av den lokale smittesituasjonen.
