Trond Giske (born 7 November 1966 in Trondheim, Norway) is a Norwegian politician and the current Minister of Trade and Industry representing the Norwegian Labour Party in the government headed by Jens Stoltenberg.[1] Known as a political Jack of all trades, he has been referred to as Norway's "Extraordinary minister" (Norwegian: Superminister) due to his ability to head different departments.[2][3]

Giske was elected into the Norwegian parliament for Sør-Trøndelag county in 1997, and served as Minister of Education, Research and Church Affairs in the first cabinet of Jens Stoltenberg 2000-2001. He was re-elected to parliament in 2001, 2005, and 2009. Giske was appointed Minister of Culture and Church Affairs in the Stoltenberg's Second Cabinet.

As one of the most prominent Labour politicians in Norway, Giske has had numerous appearances in the media. He displays an interest in culturally related subjects such as film, literature and especially football. He is also well known for his personal friendship with members of the Royal family, namely Princess Märtha Louise of Norway and her husband, the author Ari Behn. He is a strong supporter of the sports club Rosenborg.[4]

Early life and education

Born 7 November 1966 in Trondheim, Sør-Trøndelag. He is the son av engineer Bjørn Giske (1938-) and associate professor Norunn Illevold (1935-). He attended both University of Oslo and Norwegian University of Science and Technology receiving a degree in economy in 1997.[5]

Political career

Active in the Workers' Youth League from an early age, Giske became the leader of its Trondheim branch in 1988, before becoming the leader of its Sør-Trøndelag branch the following year. In 1992 Giske was elected head of the Workers Youth League as a whole. He served until 1996, the following year he was elected to the parliament, the Storting for the first time, he has since been reelected on three occasions. In March 2000 Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg appointed Giske as the new Minister of Education and Church affairs. He would serve in this capacity until the minority Labour government fell in the 2001 elections.[6] 4 years later, the 2005 elections again swept the Labour party to power as a part of the Red-green coalition and Trond Giske was then appointed Minister of Culture.[7] He would remain in this position until October 2009, when as a part of a cabinet reshuffle he was appointed Minister of Trade and Industry, succeeding Sylvia Brustad.[8]

Minister of Trade and Industry

In 2011, he claimed that it was not his responsibility to evaluate possible consequences of the decommissioning of the lending program (utlånsvirksomhet) of Eksportfinans ASA.[9] (The decommissioning can result in defaulted loans totalling Norwegian kroner 120 billion, according to Dagens Næringslivs worst-case scenario.[10])

In January 2012, Giske received widespread attention for his opposition to the sale of TV 2 to a Danish company. Giske spoke out against the transfer of 100% of TV 2's shares to the Egmont Group, at a price of 2.1 billion NOK (274 million euros), despite Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg stating his government would have no opinion on the case.[11][12] It was reported that Giske threatened the head of the Telenor Group, Harald Norvik, with the loss of his position if the sale went through.[12][13]

One of the policies championed during Giskes tenure as minister has been the so-called "salary moderation" (Norwegian: lønnsmoderasjon). The idea is that the leaders of state owned companies or companies where the Norwegian government was majority shareholder should not earn more in salary than their counterparts in the private sector.[14] Giske called on board members and CEO's to adhere to this policy or risk being replaced.[15]

Controversy

The Entra affair

In October 2012 Trond Giskes long-time friend and Labour party colleague Rune Olsø was appointed CEO of Entra Eiendom a company wholly owned by the Ministry of Trade and Industry. Olsø was to receive NOK 4.2 million in salary, which was perceived by some to be in violation of Giske's own policy of moderation.[16] Later it was revealed that the chairman and vice-chairman of the board opposed the appointment of Olsø, but lost the vote due to pressure from members who had personal or political ties to Giske.[17] In the wake of the affair, prime minister Jens Stoltenberg appointed Bård Vegar Solhjell to handle the matter, as Giske had recused himself. Solhjell responded by firing three board members, including two who was largely seen as having close ties to Giske.[18] Ten days after the story broke, Rune Olsø resigned as CEO of Entra.[19]

The Telenor affair

In October 2012 several media reported that Giske had demanded that his close friend and colleague Tore O. Sandvik be appointed to the board of directors of The Telenor Group, even though the board had stated that Sandvik "was not even close to being qualified", the board also objected due to the fact that Sandvik was considered one of Giskes closest friends.[20] According to the media-reports Giske eventually relented, but only after the board accepted another colleague Hallvard Bakke instead.[21] Giske vehemently denied ever having made the demand, claiming it might have been a mere proposal.[22]

On October 25 it emerged that Giske in 2009, when he was Minister of Culture, had personally appointed Tore O. Sandvik's wife and former party colleague Trine Brænden to the board of directors at the prestigious Trondheim Symphony Orchestra (TSO).[23] Giske stated that they were not close friends.[24]

Personal life

Giske was in a relationship with Anne Grethe Moe until they separated amicably in 2006. They have one daughter, Una, together.[25]
