GARY, YOU ARE WRONG!
And I have the evidence. I have done a bit of research.
Directly translated from norwegian, so excuse my english:
"The ATCO shall for an IFR-flight under Radar-control, give clearances that provides the required terrain separation minimum. As of Sept 29th 2005, this is also a requirement when the ATCO gives an IFR flight direct routing away from an ATS route. In addition, the responsibility of correcting for temperature will in both of the above mentioned examples be transferred to the ATCO.
This is done to bring the norwegian regulations in line with ICAO's Doc 4444 PANS-ATM. The terrain separation will be provided until the aircraft will reach such a point where the PIC will provide terrain separation and temperature correction himself."
Thank you.
Now....beer time:
