    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Voluntary - Public Date: 3/1/2018 GAIN Report Number: NL8008 Norway Post: The Hague Exporter Guide Report Categories: Beverages Dried Fruit Exporter Guide Fishery Products Raisins Retail Foods Snack Foods SP1 - Expand International Marketing Opportunities Special Certification - Organic/Kosher/Halal Tree Nuts Wine Approved By: Susan Phillips Prepared By: Marcel Pinckaers Report Highlights: This exporter guide provides practical tips for U.S. exporters on how to conduct business in Norway. Although a small market, Norway relies heavily on imports. There are export opportunities for U.S. exporters of specialty foods, wine, craft beer, seafood, tree nuts, food preparations and dried fruit. Especially well-known brands and products from the United States fare well in this affluent market. Introduction Norway is located in Northern Europe and is a part of the Scandinavian Peninsula. The majority of the country shares a border to the east with Sweden while its northernmost region is bordered by Finland to the south and Russia to the east. Norway's extensive coastline is facing the North Atlantic Ocean and the Barents Sea. Map of Northwest Europe With 324 thousand square kilometers, Norway belongs to the top ten largest countries in Europe. Norway is also one of the most sparsely populated countries in Europe and has a coastline ten times its length. Norway’s population is 5.2 million and the vast majority live in urban areas. Almost one million people live in its capital Oslo.

  • Beer Festival in Time for Summer’S TT, Congratulations to the Region’S Breweries for Another Great Champion Beer of Britain Showing
    FROM THE EDITOR There’s good news and bad news... In news that literally just landed from the Great British Beer Festival in time for summer’s TT, congratulations to the region’s breweries for another great Champion Beer of Britain showing. Gold in the ‘Specialist’ category went to Colchester Brewery’s Brazilian Coffee and Vanilla Porter, while silvers went to Mighty Oak’s Captain Bob and Bishop Nick’s 1555 in the ‘Bitter’ and ‘Best Bitter’ categories respectively. Well done to all concerned for the considerable effort involved in even getting to GBBF, never mind doing the day job at the same time! Unhappier tidings are that Chelmsford’s Round Tower is no more. An eleventh-hour plan by a local publican to buy out the brewery as a going concern didn’t come to pass, and we say thanks and goodbye to Simon and Hannah Tippler for some very tasty brews over the last few years. Further on the ‘Breweries Missing in Action’ theme, Felstar are taking a pause from production but are expecting to be back before 2020, according to Franco (via BLO Chris Mills). Seasons in the sun Some of my happiest memories are of the endless summer of ‘76, legendary for its dryness and heat. Summer 2018 is well on its way to surpassing ‘76, and what a summer beerfest we had, never thinking what the weather would be each day... Don’t forget that we also have a winter festival in February, and are recruiting now for management posts. Interested? Get in touch with WBFO Paul Murrell at [email protected].

Alkoholinkulutus Suomessa on ollut kasvussa viime vuosikymmeninä ja euroop- palaisessa mittakaavassa Suomen alkoholinkulutus on ylempää keskitasoa. Kas- vaneen alkoholinkulutuksen myötä myös alkoholista johtuvat haittavaikutukset ovat lisääntyneet, mikä on näkynyt erityisesti alkoholikuolleisuuden rajuna kas- vuna. Alkoholipolitiikan tiukempi haltuun ottaminen tilanteessa, jossa nuorten rait- tius lisääntyy ja rajoittavalle alkoholipolitiikalle näyttää taas olevan laajempaa kysyntää, voisi parhaimmassa tapauksessa kääntää alkoholiolojen yli vuosikym- menen jatkuneen kielteisen kehityksen. Terveyden ja hyvinvoinnin laitoksen tutkijoiden koostama katsaus ”Suomen al- koholiolot 2000–luvulla” jatkaa vuosina 2004 ja 2006 julkaistuja alkoholiolojen katsauksien sarjaa ja on edeltäjiensä tapaan osa kansallista alkoholiohjelmaa.

I 1964 ble det oppnevnt en rusdrikk- lovkomité som la fram tre innstillinger. Komitéens innstillinger ble behandlet i for- bindelse med Ot.prp. nr. 38 (1966-67) Om lov om endringer i lov av 5. april 1927 om innførsel og omsetning av brennevin, vin, fruktvin, mjød og øl, og i Ot.prp. nr. 60 (1971-72) av samme navn. I 1970-årene kom tre stortingsmeldinger som tok opp alkoholpolitiske spørsmål: St.meld. 88 (1972-73): Om alkoholproblemet og tiltak for å fremja edruskapen, St.meld. 58 (1977-78) Om alkoholavgiftene og St.meld. 24 (1979-80) Om tiltak til fremme av alkoholfrie miljøer.

  • Monthly Variations in Self-Report of Time-Specified and Typical Alcohol Use
    Knudsen and Skogen BMC Public Health (2015) 15:172 DOI 10.1186/s12889-015-1533-8 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Monthly variations in self-report of time-specified and typical alcohol use: The Nord-Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT3) Ann Kristin Knudsen1,2* and Jens Christoffer Skogen3,4 Abstract Background: Aggregated measures are often employed when prevalence, risk factors and consequences of alcohol use in the population are monitored. In order to avoid time-dependent bias in aggregated measures, reference periods which assess alcohol use over longer time-periods or measures assessing typical alcohol use are considered superior to reference periods assessing recent or current alcohol consumption. Alcohol consumption in the population is found to vary through the months of the year, but it is not known whether monthly variations in actual alcohol use affects self-reports of long-term or typical alcohol consumption. Using data from a large, population-based study with data-collection over two years, the aim of the present study was to examine whether self-reported measures of alcohol use with different reference periods fluctuated across the months of the year. Methods: Participants in the third wave of the Nord-Trøndelag Health Survey (HUNT3) answered questions regarding alcohol use in the last 4 weeks, weekly alcohol consumption last twelve months, typical weekly binge drinking and typical number of alcoholic drinks consumed in a 14 day period. For each of the alcohol measures, monthly variations in reporting were estimated and compared to the overall average. Results: Monthly variations in self-reported alcohol use were found across all alcohol measures regardless of reference period.

    Anne and Ken’s North Sea Route Hook of Holland to Bergen 16 May to 26 July 2002 72 days 3344 kms (2090 miles) There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing. Day 1 Thursday 16th May Weymouth to Harwich After a mass of preparation and arrangements it was good to be on our way. The tandem, dismantled into three pieces, fitted nicely into the hire car and the trailer went on the back seat. Next Anne had an armful of blood taken for her last doctor based INR test. It was far too nice a day to spend on the M25 and perhaps we really should just have pedalled to Harwich. However, even we have some kind of time limits and we wanted to do all of the European part of the North Sea route from the Hook of Holland to Bergen in Norway. So a circumnavigation of London will have to wait for another time. Perhaps a very long time. Having dumped the car we put the bike together and had a little ride to look at the Harwich sights before boarding the ship. Stena don’t advertise that they take bikes on the overnight ship but they do. Thanks Colin. And a very nice crossing it is too, with a good dinner and breakfast included in the price and a pleasant cabin. Furthermore the management did not even get seasick. Day 2 Friday 17th May Hoek van Holland to Zandvoort (Sandsfoot is near where we live in Weymouth) We were awoken by a stream of Dutch at 6.30am local time.
