    I dag avsa Høyesterett dom i Førdefjord-saken. Dommen betyr at all deponering som har skjedd i Førdefjorden hittil har skjedd uten gyldig utslippstillatelse. Det dumpes i dag mer enn 100 000 tonn med finknuste masser i fjorden hver måned. Ifølge regjeringsadvokaten kan deponeringen i Førdefjorden nå fortsette. Mener regjeringen at det er i overensstemmelse med EØS-avtalen å fortsette deponering

Source: the Storting (data.stortinget.no, NLOD). Not counted in the index: much attention in the Storting is not bad, and little is not good. Questions are linked to the ministry by the minister's title, and to other agencies only when the name is in the title. We do not show who asked or answered.

What we do not measure

We do not assess policy, goal attainment, the quality of services or individual cases. We look only at what can be measured in open data and what the agency itself controls: financial control, audit and procurement. Sick leave per agency is not openly available and is therefore left out.
