The Centre on the #Europeanization of Norwegian 🇳🇴 Law at the University of #Bergen (CENTENOL), launched in May 2023, will hold its inaugural conference on October 4, 2023. The Centre aims to enhance knowledge about the relationship between European and Norwegian law through research, teaching, dissemination, and networking activities.
Obviously, the #NAV scandal has led to a rethink here. The initiators are to be congratulated, but at the same time one must ask why Norwegian 🇳🇴 law has not long been #Europeanized almost 30 years after the EEA Agreement came into force. The answer is obvious: Especially at the #UniversityofOslo and at the Centre of European Law there, active work has been done against Europeanization. Instead of #loyalty (Article 3 EEA), the unlawful concept of the #RoomforManoeuvre was put in place. The NAV scandal is a direct consequence of this policy.
