In 2005 the Parliament of Norway agreed to abolish the National Insurance Service as well as the employment office Aetat, with effect from 2006. A new organization was created in their place, the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration (Norwegian : Arbeids- og velferdsforvaltningen, NAV) which consists of the state-run Norwegian Labour and Welfare Service (Norwegian : Arbeids- og velferdsetaten) and certain parts of the municipal social services, and has a broader responsibility for welfare. The reform that created NAV is not completed yet. [1] [4]
