Explanation:
In any case, I think "næringsverksemd" refers to economic activity ("næringsvirksomhed" in Danish).

neutral  Per Bergvall: Kjipt å være uenig når en har svart selv, så jeg nøyer meg med nøytral. Industrial activity er da industrivirksomhet, eller hur? Mens næringsvirksomhet favner bredere - til for eksempel Fisketorget i Bergen, eller Langedrag, eller hotell og restaurant..?
