Excerpt:
Attitudes towards immigrants have softened slightly in the last two years, a new study shows, but almost half of Norwegians still see major room for improvement in the integration process.
Some 46 percent of Norwegians believe the integration process is functioning quite badly or very badly, according to the latest "integration barometer".
Two years ago, this figure was three percentage points higher. In 2005, however, just 37 percent of respondents expressed dissatisfaction with how immigrants were adapting to life in Norway.
