	Storting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As Norway became unified as a geopolitical entity in the 10th century the lagtings were established as superior regional assemblies.
		The archaic regional assemblies, the Frostating, the Gulating and the Eidsivating were amalgamated and the corpus of law was setdown under the command of King Magnus Lagabøte during the mid 13th century.
		This jurisdiction remained significant until King Frederick III of Denmark and Norway proclaimed absolute monarchy in 1660; this was ratified by the passage of the King Act of 1665, and this became the constitution of the Union of Denmark and Norway and remained so until 1814 and the foundation of the Storting.

	EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT FACT SHEETS - 2.3.0. Freedom of movement for persons
		Parliament wants to secure the greatest possible measure of freedom to travel for all persons within the Union's internal frontiers.
		Parliament takes the view that while the abolition of internal borders requires some accompanying measures this must not be a pretext for introducing systematic controls in border areas or hermetically sealing off external frontiers.
		To underline its views, for instance, in 1993 Parliament initiated proceedings against the Commission for failure to act (under Article 232 (175) ECT, in Case C 445/93), because it had failed to put forward suitable proposals for the free movement of persons in the European Union.

	NORWAY, Landmine Monitor Report 1999
