Well I wan't speculating, just stating the situation as it is in Norway. I am not entirely sure as to the situation throughout the rest of Europe, but I don't think that Norway is unique in this.
Sure it may upset the voting public, but that doesn't necessarily make it wrong. According to many polls the voting public would have us out of the EU, hanging pedophiles from lamposts and sending people of colour back to whence their great-great grandparents were originally enslaved by the British Empire. The UK hasn't so far given in to the voting public over those issues so why not come into line with other countries regarding heritage. The Valetta agreement (to which the UK is a signatory) states that nations shall make provision for the legal protection of the archaeological heritage. What easier way than designation of the whole resource...
