This is in keeping with the measures launched by the Government in its presentation to the Storting in April 1999. Examples of state regulatory bodies with an active role in the year 2000 effort are the Banking, Insurance and Securities Commission, the Pollution Control Authority, the Petroleum Directorate, the Water Resources and Energy Directorate, the Civil Aviation Administration, The Board of Health, and the county governors' supervision of municipal preparedness. At central level, information has been received on quality audits of 30 critical central government agencies distributed among 10 ministries. Details of the conclusions drawn from these quality audits are available for 22 of the agencies. The general impression is that the quality audits have speeded the progress and enhanced the quality of the work done in the audited agencies.
Typical aspects needing improvement are general project management and contingency planning.
Some agencies report problems with making progress and ability to deliver.
