gjeninnførsel

gjeninnførsel is a Norwegian noun that translates to "reintroduction" or "reinstatement". It is used in several contexts such as legal, biological, and economic fields. In legal documents, gjeninnførsel refers to the return of a person to a particular status after a penalty or restriction has ended, for example a reintroduction of voting rights or the reinstatement of a professional license. In wildlife and environmental science, the term describes the deliberate release or reestablishment of a species into its native habitat after a period of absence; this is often part of conservation programs. Economically, gjeninnførsel can denote the reintroduction of a tax, regulation, or policy that had previously been abolished or relaxed.

The Norwegian legal system has specific statutes that outline the procedural requirements for gjeninnførsel of professional credentials, requiring evidence of rehabilitation or compliance with stipulated conditions. Environmental agencies use gjeninnførsel as a technical term for the reintroduction of native flora and fauna, with monitoring protocols to assess long‑term success and ecological impact.

Related concepts include tilbakeføring, which means "return to a former position" in a broader sense, and utdanning, which refers to education or training required for reinstatement. The use of gjeninnførsel is common in policy documents, academic literature, and news reporting within Norway.
