EFTA Court Doc 56 1 rue du Fort Thüngen L-1499 Luxembourg Luxembourg Case No 20-183236SIV-HRET, civil case, appeal against judgment: Request for an Advisory Opinion 1. INTRODUCTION (1) Pursuant to Article 34 of the Agreement between the EFTA States on the Establishment of a Surveillance Authority and a Court of Justice (SCA), read in conjunction with section 51a of the Norwegian Courts of Justice Act (Lov om domstolene), the Supreme Court of Norway (Norges Høyesterett) hereby requests an Advisory Opinion from the EFTA Court for use in Case No 20-183236SIV-HRET. The appellant in the case is Norep AS, whilst the respondent is Haugen Gruppen AS. (2) The case concerns Norep AS’s claim for remuneration upon termination of a contract under the Norwegian legislation on commercial agents. That claim was not successful before the District Court or the Court of Appeal in their judgments on the ground that Norep AS could not be deemed to be a “commercial agent” as defined in the first paragraph of section 1 of that legislation. (3) The case raises questions of interpretation of Council Directive 86/653/EEC of 18 December 1986 on the coordination of the laws of the Member States relating to self-employed commercial agents (“the Directive”). Those rules are implemented in Norwegian law by Law of 19 June 1992 on commercial agents and business travellers (“the Commercial Agents Act”) (lov om handelsagenter og handelsreisende (agenturloven) 19. juni 1992). (4) The Supreme Court now requests the EFTA Court to give an Advisory Opinion on the precise substance of the rule laid down in the first option under Article 1(2) of the Directive, more specifically the term “negotiate”. -
The Scope for Norwegian Commitments Related to International Research on Jan Mayen Island
Chapter 25 NATO Advanced Research Workshop The Scope for Norwegian Commitments Related to International Research on Jan Mayen Island Odd Gunnar Skagestad Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Oslo, Norway. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The main considerations that will govern the scope for Norwegian commitments related to international research operations on Jan Mayen Island are: 1) the physical characteristics of Jan Mayen Island, 2) its legal status in terms of international law as well as national legislation, 3) infrastructure and logistics, and 4) national policies concerning research or related activities. Any Norwegian support to proposed international research activities will require that the operation would be compatible with existing or prospective Norwegian national policies or strategies concerning research or related activities, which could entail the possibility of cooperation with key Norwegian research institutions. Key words: Norwegian sovereignty, legal obstacles, access regime, environmental protection, regulations, Action Plan 1. INTRODUCTION As a point of departure in describing the scope for Norwegian commitments related to international research operations on Jan Mayen Island, one will note that there are very few, if any, pre-ordained restrictions limiting the scope of operations that can be contemplated, subject to such variables as one's imagination, the financial resources at one's disposal, and one's priorities. However, there will always be a number of considerations that will narrow down the realistically available options and provide the more or less rigid modalities for the kind of activities that would seem 269 S.

Advocate Anders Flaatin Wilhelmsen Advocate Ane Sydnes Egeland UNOFFICIAL TRANSLATION The case involves the question of whether the decision taken by the Royal Decree of 10 June 2016 on awarding production licences for petroleum on the Norwegian continental shelf in Barents Sea South and in Barents Sea South-East, the “23rd Licensing Round” is invalid. The decision was taken pursuant to the Norwegian Act of 29 November 1996 No. 72 relating to Petroleum Activities, Section 3-3. More specifically, the issues in the case are whether the decision is contrary to Article 112 of the Norwegian Constitution, whether the decision is contrary to Article 2 or Article 8 of the European Human Rights Convention, as well as Article 93 or Article 102 of the Norwegian Constitution, and whether the decision is invalid because of procedural errors. The case raises in particular questions regarding the interpretation of Article 112 of the Norwegian Constitution related to whether, and the extent to which, the provision grants rights, and how the provision may be applied to emissions of greenhouse gases. -

Trade-Offs in Pastoral Governance in Norway: Challenges for Biodiversity and Adaptation Camilla Risvoll1*, Gunn Elin Fedreheim2 and Diego Galafassi3
Risvoll et al. Pastoralism: Research, Policy and Practice (2016) 6:4 DOI 10.1186/s13570-016-0051-3 RESEARCH Open Access Trade-offs in pastoral governance in Norway: Challenges for biodiversity and adaptation Camilla Risvoll1*, Gunn Elin Fedreheim2 and Diego Galafassi3 Abstract Norway is committed to the two-fold policy objective of preserving biodiversity and maintaining traditional local livelihoods. This creates management dilemmas with the potential to undermine the legitimacy of both national and international policies. In this article, we take a social-ecological perspective to highlight how these two policy objectives are linked and interdependent and, therefore, subjected to complex dynamics between institutions and ecosystems. We use a case study in northern Norway to discuss trade-offs in the implementation of the two-fold conservation objectives. Based on interviews, a focus group meeting with 16 reindeer herders and stakeholders and participant observations during a grazing committee meeting, we identified that ecological dynamics between carnivores, sheep and grassland patterns are central to this trade-off. We demonstrate how current governance instruments in carnivore management do not address the spatial dynamics of carnivores leading to a perceived conflict between environmentalist groups and farmers around questions of carnivore protection and sheep killings by carnivores. Fragmentation in the multi-layered governance system prevents ongoing dialogue among various actors, thereby enhancing antagonisms while reducing the likelihood of the emergence and implementation of adaptation measures and practices. Keywords: Multi-level governance, Trade-offs, Adaptive capacity, Biodiversity, Carnivores Background carnivores (wolf, brown bear, wolverine, lynx, golden Curbing global biodiversity loss sits among the most eagle) throughout the 18th, 19th and 20th century to pressing issues of our time (Rockström et al. -
Balance Sheet
Nordlandsbanken in 1997 The Nordlandsbanken Group reported record- breaking results in 1997, achieving a consolidated profit of MNOK 147.8. The following factors contributed to Nordlandsbanken’s strong performance: rapid growth in lending volume, fewer losses, lower operating expenses, higher revenues from banking services and stronger gains on securities trading. Total assets reached NOK 16.9 billion at the end of the year. Gross lending was up 18.5 per cent, although deposits edged down by 3.5 per cent. Net lending losses came to MNOK 70.3, including MNOK 16.8 in provisions for unspecified losses. This adds up to a net reduction of MNOK 17 in specified losses from 1996 to 1997. NB Unit Trusts continued on a positive trend throughout the year under review. The Bank sold MNOK 230 worth of unit trust products in 1997. In October, the Bank launched its own range of insurance products in collaboration with Nordenfjeldske Livforsikring AS of Trondheim. Then, in December, the Bank introduced an IPA (individual pension agreement) scheme. Based on voluntary arrangements, the ten per cent staff cut target was reached during the year, as the staff was reduced from 436 to 390 man-years of labour. All subsidiaries posted a profit in 1997. 1 Key figures The Group BALANCE SHEET 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 Total assets NOK million 16 949.9 14 322.6 12 730.1 11 288.9 9 812.1 Average total assets NOK million 15 495.0 13 585.0 12 072.0 10 515.0 9 715.0 Deposits from customers NOK million 7 052.5 7 306.5 6 691.7 7 427.5 6 489.6 Gross lending NOK million 14 -
Dette Er Fortellingen Om Et Mord, Noen Neppe Har Hørt Om
Dieckagåhpe Photo: Cato Hultmann The murder at Dieckagåhpe In the southernmost outpost of the Sulitjelma mountains, high above Saltdal’s smallholdings and patches of farmland, there was a murder in 1829. The incident has not become part of local folklore, and the name of the place where the murder happened, Dieckagåhpe, has been forgotten. Even the grave of the woman who was killed is hidden in a forgotten cemetery at Saltnes in Saltdal. Through reading Petrus Læstadius’ book Fortsättning af Journalen öfver missions- resor i Lappmarken innefattande åren 1828–1832 (“Continuation of the Journal of Missionary Journeys in Lappmark during the Years 1828–1832”), I became aware of the mention of a murder committed in Norway, where the murderer was arrested by the Norwegian authorities. Since the books are about the people who lived in Pite Lappmark, which also includes the Sulitjelma mountains, I found it interesting that the incident was unknown, both in the local historical literature and among the people who had had great knowledge of this area for generations. Two of the Sami that were mentioned by name in this case were known from the local history of Sulitjelma. One was “Smoleck”, who has a small river in Sulitjelma named after him. The other, Jon Andersson Ljung, is strongly associated with the prediction of Sulitjelma’s establishment – and its decline, should the church tower ever have a spire. An enquiry sent to the State Archives in Trondheim, where the municipal records for Salten Tinglag (judicial district) are archived, produced results. Soon, I had copies of witness statements, minutes of court proceedings, and correspondence between the sheriff, the bailiff and the local judge in my mailbox. -
