The Committee notes with interest the Act of 24 June 1988 concerning the Entry of Foreign Nationals into the Kingdom of Norway and their Presence in the Realm (Immigration Act), and the relevant Regulations passed by Decree of the Crown Prince Regent on 21 December 1990, both of which came into force on 1 January 1991. It also notes the Government's information concerning Article 13, paragraph 2, of the Convention. The Committee would appreciate further information in respect of the following provisions of the Convention:

Article 9, paragraph 3. The Committee notes that, under section 46 of the Act, a foreign national conducted out of the realm is obliged to pay the expenses connected with his or her exit and that the foreign national should also pay the cost of surveillance. It recalls that this provision of the Convention prescribes that the cost of explusion should not be borne by the expelled worker or his family. What is referred to is not the cost of repatriation but the cost incurred by a State in ensuring that the worker and his family leave the country, for example the costs of the procedures leading to the expulsion order or of the implementing order. The Committee requests the Government to indicate measures taken or envisaged to give effect to this requirement of the Convention;

Article 14(a). The Committee notes that, under section 12 of the Act a permanent settlement permit conferring the right to reside and to take work without any time-limit may be granted when an applicant has resided continuously for three years in the country with a continuous unrestricted residence or work permit. The Committee requests the Government to indicate whether a settlement permit confers the right to work without restriction as regards the job or the place of work;

The Committee notes that the Government's report does not reply to its previous comments concerning the question of recognition of occupational qualifications acquired outside the country (Article 14(b)) and existing restrictions on access to certain employment or functions for foreign workers (Article 14(c)). The Committee hopes that the Government will supply such particulars in its next report.
