Allied with protection for maritime heritage predating 1912 and similarly for Same cultural heritage in the north of the country. Very simple law that requires everyone who wishes to disturb a site of of unknown archaeological potential to obtain an evaluation and dispensation before their project can proceed. Fines for failing to follow the law have exceeded 1,000,000 krone (?110,000) and have required the removal of the illegal development.
Can I move to Norway?
