Steenstrup Like in most other countries, the e-commerce field is developing rapidly at the moment. EU directives and laws are therefore applicable here in the same way as in the EU countries. We have in Norway today no Internet-specific legislation.
Norwegian law is already to some extent in accordance with the directive.
For example, according to Norwegian Internal Law, there is no need for a direct regulation stating that E-commerce contracts shall be legally binding, as this is already the case in advance. A bill concerning electronic trade is at the moment out on hearing. The main points of this bill are being dealt with under item 1. hereunder. In addition I will also point to some other issues related to the topic above, Item 2-9. 1. 1 Scope and Purpose is based upon the directive art.
