I understand the motivation (even though I fundamentally disagree with it), but I find this rather inconsistent with issues such as 'the right to be forgotten' and other privacy initiatives put out by the EU.

I can see this one being taken to the EU Court of Justice by someone.

In Finland you can go and check how much somebody else earned and paid taxes. You can’t do this online, must visit the tax office in person.

This is balancing between privacy and transparency of tax system.

I don’t think the EU privacy legislation applies to this kind of public functions.

Technically correct is the best kind of correct ;)

Pragmatically correct is better than technically correct :)

Norway will be subject to EFTA court, which is almost de-facto Court of Justice.

Granted, how someone might sue and escalate an case is a different thing altogether.

But they adopt GDPR, nonetheless.
