| Message | Herr Huspresident, Could we have a reason why the Høyre and Liberal-Demokratiske Parti voted against any legislation which comes through this Stortinget. If it could be clearly defined by them, we could move forward on a different/alternative path. Ramus Ingrebretsen, Statsminister. |

| Message | Herr Huspresident This law won't prevent smuggling of Kazulian weapons. There is no good reason for government intervention in export policy on conventional arms. The terms conventional weapons generally refer to weapons that are in relatively wide use that are not weapons of mass destruction (e.g. nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons). Do we really want that govrenment decide to who will private companies sell guns? Defence Minister obviously do not have enough to do when he wants to engage in the sale of a conventional arms. |

| Message | Herr Huspresident, I am sure, that in the future there will be reports of how the government was attempting to mask the scale of Kazulia’s arms trade by actively encouraging manufacturers to sell weaponry under an opaque procedure which keeps the value of exports out of the public domain. By dealing with said trade on a case-by-case basis, we establish a presences of licencing. By allowing this to go on, without intervention from the government, will inescapably reduce the transparency in trade. The opinion of the Hoyre representative shows once again, how far they will go to protect the interests of the big-corporations, and not focus on the issues of this nation. That is why this nation must rid itself of right-wing austerity. Snorre Lorenzen Minister of Defence |
