Regelrett eller rett regel? Håndtering og praktisering av regelverket for havbruksnæringen

Abstract

This is the second report from the project “Impacts of the legal framework on the aquaculture industry – simplification of regulations”, funded by The Norwegian Seafood Research Fund (FHF). The project is designed to investigate how scientific knowledge and political objectives have shaped the design and implementation of the legal framework, and to suggest possible improvements and simplifications of the regulatory regime. In this report, we focus on the regulatory system, and practices laws and regulations. The main problem with the current management structure is the strong fragmentation. As many as five (six) ministries are involved, and three levels of government involved (municipal, county and state).
