Market making in Oslo is not the same as on Nasdaq/OTC.
On Nasdaq or OTC, a broker firm just have to inform Finra that they now will make a market in a security more or less, the issuing company has no saying to this.
In Oslo the issuer/company sign a contract with a broker who guarantee liquidity in the stock. Then informs Oslo Börs about the agreement. From what I know, the market maker normally get compensated for the service and are then in a way working for the company. So if the market maker miss behaves, no one will sign a contract with that broker firm to be a market maker again. So Market Makers in Oslo normally have very good reputation and are appreciated by the market.
Here is an agreement both parties must sign for this.
