It has been a breathtaking month with fighting against the Norwegian implementation of EUCD. We want to tweak this bill to promote competition. This is a cause we don't decides the agenda. It's just the opposite. We have to be on alert and on our toes to get our voice heard. We got opportunity to do so at the Norwegian parliament, and in The Ministry of Modernisation about. We have also got almost every youth party in Norway on our side. The EUCD as is, will be implemented. But we could probably get it tweaked our way.
