Abstract
The article gives an overview of amendments and considerations concerning amendments, with regard to the implementation of EC law in Norwegian consumer law. A distinction is made between the EC harmonized and the non-harmonized areas. With regard to the harmonized areas, it is pointed out that the Norwegian legislation in general has wider fields of application and is of a less detailed nature than the current EC directives. Hence, the Marketing Act from 1972 covers several directives and draft directives. In general Norwegian consumer law to a large extent is in harmony with EC consumer law, that is as long as the latter is of a minimum nature. Concerning the non-harmonized areas, Norwegian consumer law is considered acceptable to the EC, provided it does not discriminate between national and foreign businesses, and there is proportionality between the instruments and the aims.
