Storting (stôr`tĭng), national parliament of Norway, dating from 1814. Its members are elected by direct universal suffrage for a four-year term, and representation is proportional. The Storting elects one fourth of its members to form the Lagting, or upper house, the remainder constituting the Odelsting or lower house, in which all bills must originate. Ministers may attend the Storting but may not vote. How to thank TFD for its existence?

Several years after the death of Alfred Nobel, the Norwegian Storting (Parliament) d ecided to award the 1905 Nobel Peace Prize to Bertha von Suttner. The ministry will review the plan and its associated assessment documents and formulate its own recommendations, which it will forward to the Storting for a final decision, expected in the second half of 2001. Important political and national policy issues, primarily related to the gas offtake, had to be resolved prior to final approval which resulted in delay of approval by the Norwegian Storting (Parliament) to 1991. |
