Technical difficulties with our website
13/01/2015 We are in the process of upgrading npd.no’s publication system. We are experiencing some technical difficulties with our website as a result of this.
Many people who subscribe to our news service have received e-mail updates for the same news item several times. The subscription module has therefore been deactivated until further notice.
The upgrade has also caused some links to fail. Please report any “dead” links to this e-mail address.
