4. General Information
 Europe's northernmost country, the Kingdom of Norway is famed for its mountains and spectacular fjord
coastline, as well as its history as a seafaring power.
 It also enjoys one of the world's highest standards of living, in large part due to the discovery in the late 1960s of
offshore oil and gas.
 It is the world's number seven oil exporter and has resisted the temptation to splurge its windfall, choosing
instead to deposit the surplus wealth into its oil fund - now the world's largest sovereign wealth fund.
 What to do with the money is a hot political issue: whether to use more of it to improve infrastructure or keep it
for a rainy day and future generations.
 Norway plays an active international role. It has mediated between Israel and the Palestinians as well as in the Sri
Lankan conflict, and has participated in military action in Afghanistan and Libya. Ex-premier Jens Stoltenberg is
Nato's secretary general.
 It defies a global ban on commercial whaling, along with Japan and Iceland.

14. Volkswagen to be sued by
Norway fund over emissions
scandal
Norway's sovereign wealth fund, the world's largest, plans
legal action against Volkswagen over the firm's emissions
scandal.
It said it had been advised by lawyers that the company's
conduct "gives rise to legal claims under German law".
Volkswagen admitted last year that it had installed secret
software to cheat US emissions tests.
The move, from one of VW's biggest investors, is the latest
in a flood of legal actions over the scandal.
It faces action from US Department of Justice, the Federal
Trade Commission and its own dealers.
Norges Bank Investment Management is worth $850bn
(£592bn; €751bn) and has stakes in more than 9,000
companies.
According to the Financial Times, which first reported the
story, the lawsuit is expected in the coming weeks. It will be
filed in Germany, joining class-action cases which are being
prepared there.

15. Volkswagen Salınım Sıkandalları Nedeniyle Norveç Fonu
Tarafından Dava Edilecek
Dünyanın en büyüğü olan Norveç Kral fonu, şirketin salınım skandalları nedeniyle Volkswagen’a kanuni işlem başlatmaya
hazırlanıyor.
Şirketin bu tutumunun «Alman yasaları altında kanuni hak talebinde bulunmaya sebebiyet verdiği» avutatlar tarafından
söylendi.
Vokswagen geçen yıl salınım gazı testlerinde hile yapacak gizli bir yazılım yüklediğini itiraf etmişti.
VW’nin en büyük yatırımcılarından gelen bu hareket, bu skandal üzerine yapılan kanuni eylemlerden sonuncusu.
Şirket Amerika Adalet Bakanlığından, Federal Ticaret Komisyonundan ve kendi bayilerinden işlemlerle yüzleşiyor.
Norges Banka Yatırım Yönetimi 850 milyar dolar (592 milyar pound ve 751 milyar avro) değerinde ve 9.000’den fazla
şirkete destek veriyor.
Hikayeyi ilk yayımlayan Financial Times’a göre dava gelecek haftalarda açılacak. Diğer davalarla birleştirilerek Almanya’da
dosyalanacak.

16. Woman attempted to set
fire to Oslo mosque
A woman was filmed by security cameras attempting to set fire
to the World Islamic Mission in Oslo earlier this week, mosque
officials said on Friday.
The woman went to the World Islamic Mission’s mosque on
Tuesday and asked to use its toilet. Video from the facility’s
surveillance cameras show that she set fire to a paper towel that
she brought with her out of the restroom, Aftenposten reported.
While she attempted to use the paper towel to start a larger fire,
15 people were praying one floor above her.
Those praying were able to extinguish the fire.
The World Islamic Mission has up until now been open to
anyone who wants to look around or use the facility to pray.
School groups have also been welcome. But now, management
said it will reconsider both the mosque's safety measures and
opening hours.
“Arson creates fear amongst the Muslims in Oslo,” Mehtab Afsar
of the Islamic Council of Norway said.
The arson attempt was reported to police and is currently being
investigated.
