Norway s main opposition Labour Party on Friday rejected a government plan to decriminalise the personal use of drugs in small quantities, saying the measure could incite young people to experiment with narcotics.
Under the centre-right coalition government s proposal submitted in February, both the possession and use of small quantities of drugs, including heroin, cocaine and cannabis, would no longer have been punishable under the criminal code, but users would still have had to seek help.

Prime Minister Erna Solberg says that certificates will be issued to people who have either received a Covid-19 vaccine or have immunity as part of the Norway s four step plan to lift coronavirus restrictions.
The PM confirmed that proof of vaccination will be used in Norway in a statement given in parliament on Wednesday.
“We must consider how such a certificate can best be used nationally in connection with reopening the country. A corona certificate opens up opportunities, but at the same time offers challenges and dilemmas. The government’s ambition is to land a solution for such a certificate within reasonable time,” said the prime minister in a statement to parliament.

Prime Minister Erna Solberg will on Wednesday present a reopening plan for Norway to parliament before briefing the nation at a press conference.
When will Norway reopen?
Director at the Norwegian Directorate of Health, Bjørn Guldvog, has told newspaper VG that authorities hope to start the first stage of the reopening in May.
âWe hope that we will be able to start the first step (of reopening) in the second half of May. It depends on what infection situation we are in and that we have vaccinated those we have planned to vaccinate,â said Guldvog.
