Emergency resettlement procedures in place.
Family reunion is outside the quota.
Planning for resettlement on 3-year basis. Some 125 unused places from 1998 can be used in 1999. Norway announced a 50 percent increase in the ceiling in 1998 to 1,500 places. 1998 was the first year of a new three year period within which the annual quotas may be disposed in a flexible manner. A number of places which were not used in 1998 can therefore be carried over to 1999, in addition to the 1,500 approved for the current year.
