"Final Statement Jijnjevaerie Saami village - Statkraft SCA Vind AB (SSVAB)," 9 Feb 2016

…Jijnjevaerie Saami village…submitted a complaint to both the Swedish and the Norwegian NCPs for the OECD Guidelines. The complaint concerned Statkraft SCA Vind AB’s (SSVAB) planned wind power project in areas where the Saami village engages in reindeer herding…In its response to the complaint, SVVAB argued that the case should be rejected because the claims in the complaint had been considered by the Swedish court system…The company also referred to the fact that it had engaged in extensive dialogue with the Saami village on compensation schemes…In spring 2014, the NCPs engaged an external mediator…The mediation was concluded in June 2014 without results. The NCPs have therefore reviewed parts of the case and will now give their assessment of Statkraft’s compliance with the OECD Guidelines...The NCPs have not found any grounds for concluding that there has been any non-compliance with the Guidelines…but…the NCPs provide recommendations for how SSVAB can work in a manner that even more clearly promotes indigenous people’s rights and the implementation of the Guidelines...
