• Resumen

  • On 20 June 2014 the Government submitted a proposal to establish a new Act on the protection of minors (Lov om beskyttelse av mindreårige mot skadelige bildeprogram). The new law was enacted by Parliament on 15 December 2014 during a second reading, following the first reading on 10 December. The new law introduces a platform-independent approach, which means that provisions regarding the protection of minors against harmful content in audiovisual programmes are combined in one Act regardless of platform. The Act will come into force no earlier than 1 July 2015.
