摘要：Once Parliament (Storting) had given Kredittilsynet responsibility
for oversight of listed companies¡¯ fi nancial reporting,
the agency built up in the course of 2005 the competence
and supervisory machinery needed to discharge this task.
Preparations for fi nancial reporting supervision, along with
wide-ranging legislative drafting for the securities market
and the insurance and banking fi elds, were a major feature
of Kredittilsynet¡¯s work in 2005. A regulatory framework
comparable to that being developed elsewhere in Europe is
important for Norway¡¯s fi nancial sector and business and
industry in general. That said, adapting to European rules can
in some areas produce a more complicated body of rules than
warranted by Norway¡¯s needs alone.
