Norwegian import tariffs no bed of roses for Denmark / News in brief / The Foreigner

Norwegian import tariffs no bed of roses for Denmark. As the debate about whether the Muppet Show’s Swedish chef is speaking Swedish or Norwegian continues, Norway’s other Scandinavian neighbours the Danes are unhappy with tariffs imposed on agricultural products including cheese and flowers, especially Hydrangeas. The matter has become so flower sour that Danish Trade and Investment Minister Pia Olsen Dyhr is planning to take the issue to the EU, complaining of protectionism. She told Norwegian business daily Dagens Næringsliv (DN) in an email that “Norway increased tariffs on hydrangeas from zero to 72 percent in July without warning. It hits Danish horticultural nurseries hard, because they have adapted their production for continued exports to Norway.”
