The Storting calls on the government to establish a public commission to review experience with the penal code's provisions on purchasing sexual services and pimping. The commission should investigate unintended consequences of these provisions and their enforcement, and recommend measures to strengthen protection against exploitation and trafficking while securing rights and safety for sex workers.
