About this bill
Committee advances digital sovereignty proposals with varying ambition
The Standing Committee on Local Government and Public Administration is considering a private member's bill on digital sovereignty from six MPs. While committee members agree on the need to strengthen Norway's digital independence, they have put forward proposals reflecting significant disagreement over approach. Labour and Conservative members back pilot projects and diversification, while Socialist Left, Red, and Green members propose more ambitious measures including a national public cloud service, exit strategies from large IT platforms, and a national open-source program.
