these entities have already been frozen by the GON.  Jo 
Hoevik, Senior Advisor in the legal department, explained how 
Norwegian asset freeze provisions function.  UNSCR 1737 is 
incorporated into Norwegian regulation number 
FOR-2007-02-09-149.  An list of entities whose assets are 
frozen is attached to this regulation, and is updated when 
they are added to the UNSCUR 1737 list.  The attached list is 
forwarded to the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway 
(FSAN) each time it is updated.  The FSAN in turn sends the 
list to financial institutions, which are obligated to comply.
