Two weeks ago, the Norwegian Parliament approved a proposal to pipe oil from its Ekofisk fields to Britain and gas to Germany. By 1980, sales of North Sea oil could be providing the equivalent of $100 annual income for every Norwegian. The Oslo government is trying to increase the take by insisting on a 50% interest...
