On June 29 2007, the Norwegian government adopted a new Securities Trading Act and a new Stock Exchange Act, implementing the EU's Mifid, Transparency and Takeover Directives. The new acts bring about substantial changes to prevailing law. The acts will, with the exception of certain provisions, enter into force on November 1 2007 and will replace the Securities Trading Act of June 19 1997 and the Stock Exchange Act of November 17 2000.
