Successful Norwegian integration

– There is an ongoing debate in Norway about whether the integration of immigrants is successful or not. A new European study demonstrates that Norway succeeds in many areas, and we are pleased to have this confirmed, says Mr. Bjarne Håkon Hanssen, the Norwegian Minister of Labour and Social Inclusion.

– We are particularly satisfied with top rankings in the areas of immigrants' participation in society and working life. The study confirms that it is necessary to have a continuing focus on integration. We have therefore decided to strenghten the government's Action Plan for Integration and Social Inclusion of the Immigrant Population in 2008, says Mr. Hanssen.
