Norway not included when short sale regulations in EU take effect 1 November 2012

From 1 November 2012 EU Regulation 236/2012 on short selling and certain aspects of credit default swaps will come into effect. Although the Regulation is within the scope of the EEA Agreement, Norway has not implemented the EU Regulation.

Meanwhile, existing rules on short sale in Norway will continue to apply for transactions performed on the Norwegian market.
