A ROYAL NORWEGIAN MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND CARE SERVICES EFTA Surveillance Authority Rue Belliard 35 B-1040 Brussel Your ref Our ref Date 71877/687532 09/5380- 18.09.2014 Response from the Norwegian Government to the EFTA Surveillance Authority’s letter of formal notice - legislation on private import of alcohol 1.

1 Introduction
Brussels, 18 June 2014 Case No: 71877 EventNo:687532 Dec No: 22lll3lCOL Ministry of Finance Postboks 8008 Dep N-0030 Oslo Norway Dear Sir or Madam, Subject: Letter of formal notice to Norway for maintaining in force certain legislation on private importation of alcohol 1 Introduction In Norway, retail sale of alcoholic beverages may only be undertaken by the State monopoly AS Vinmonopolet ("Vinmonopolet"). However, a private person in Norway may import alcoholic beverages without the assistance or involvernent of Vinmonopolet into Norway, if it is intended for private use. Such importation may take the form of the importer carrying the beverages over the border himself, or he may have the goods delivered by a transport company authorised to deliver alcohol into Norway. The transport company delivering the alcoholic beverages to the private importer can only provide the transport service; it cannot have any other involvement in the sale as such, and must be independent from the seller. The Authority understands that it is not necessary that the buyer himself contracts with the transport company. It is permissible for the buyer to enter into one single contract with the seller, for the sale and delivery of alcoholic beverages (and, thus, a seller abroad may offer alcoholic beverages with home delivery in Norway). But the seller must then outsource its deliveries into Norway to an independent transport company, whose advantage from such sales must be limited to normal remuneration for the transport service. The EFTA Surveillance Authority ("the Authority'') considers that this requirement of functional and structural separation between the undertaking selling the alcoholic beverages and the undertakings delivering the beverages violates the EEA rules on free movement of services and free movement of goods, as set out in Articles 36 atdlor 11 of the EEA Agreement, in so far as alcoholic beverages come under the product scope of the Agreement. -

Although a small market, Norway relies heavily on imports. There are export opportunities for U.S. exporters of specialty foods, wine, craft beer, seafood, tree nuts, food preparations and dried fruit. Especially well-known brands and products from the United States fare well in this affluent market. Introduction Norway is located in Northern Europe and is a part of the Scandinavian Peninsula.

Norway's extensive coastline is facing the North Atlantic Ocean and the Barents Sea. Map of Northwest Europe With 324 thousand square kilometers, Norway belongs to the top ten largest countries in Europe. Norway is also one of the most sparsely populated countries in Europe and has a coastline ten times its length. Norway’s population is 5.2 million and the vast majority live in urban areas. Almost one million people live in its capital Oslo. -

Synspunktene i denne rapporten er forfatterens, og reflekterer ikke nødvendigvis ForUMs synspunkter. Forsidefoto: Jonas Gahr Støre, Norges utenriksminister. Foto: Torbjørn Sønstrød. Utgitt: Første gang utgitt januar 2010. Rapporten kan lastes ned fra www.forumfor.no. FORORD Av Elin Enge, daglig leder, Forum for Utvikling og Miljø «Inntektene en stat innhenter, hvordan de innhentes, og måten den bruker dem på, definerer statens natur». Slik lyder den amerikanske oljestatsforskeren Terry Lynn Karls tese. Hva er så Norges natur? Om den finnes, er den neppe like ren som snø eller våre fjorder. Og langt mindre kjent. Noen av de største utfordringene i verden i dag er å takle klimakrisen, bekjempe fattigdom og å dempe og forebygge krig og konflikt. Dette er områder hvor Norge anser seg for å være foregangsland. Da utenriksministeren i fjor kom med den såkalte Refleksmeldingen om hovedlinjene i utenrikspolitikken – den første på tjue år – ble slike utfordringer betegnet som ”Norges utvidede egeninteresser”. -

General Information About Vinmonopolet in Norway
GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT VINMONOPOLET IN NORWAY Vinmonopolet is a monopoly situation in charge of the retail distribution of wine, spirits and strong beer in Norway. The products Vinmonopolet distribute are purchased from licensed suppliers which are called Grossister. LaMarc Wines holds a required license and agreements to act as a supplier to the monopoly. The organization have about 300 stores in Norway, in four different size categories. The population of Norway is approximately 5,2 million people. Vinmonopolet has approximately 18 000 products in its product range at this stage, and every year they purchase about 300 new products. Most of the products are purchased via the normal tender procedure, where Vinmonopolet announce a tender request and different products submitted will be judged on quality in relation to price in a blind tasting session. The volumes required for a product varies a lot, depending on the price, distribution and idea with a listing. Overall Vinmonpolet purchases more products and smaller volumes than what Systembolaget (Swedish monopoly) usually purchases. The Norwegian retail alcohol monopoly is as the other Scandinavian monopolies very pro organic products, and this we believe will be a trend that we will see more of within the next 5 years period. INFORMATION ABOUT VINMONPOLET AND THE TENDER SYSTEM As the monopoly tendering system is pretty complicated and difficult to understand, we´ve tried to summarize the process. For us it is very important that the producers we represent understand the procedure and by doing so participate with us in an ongoing, proactive work. Many producers today misunderstand the procedure due to unclear information from Scandinavian partners and we really want to avoid this. -

Royal Norwegian Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries
ROYAL NORWEGIAN MINISTRY OF TRADE, INDUSTRY AND FISHERIES EFTA Surveillance Authority (ESA)/EFTAs Overvåkningsorgan Werner Miguel Kühn Rue Belliard 35 B-1040 BRUSSEL Y our ref Our ref Date 14/6869-9 01.06.15 Observations from the Norwegian Government on the content of ESA’s letter of 17 February 2015 1. INTRODUCTION Reference is made to the letter from EFTAs Surveillance Authority (“ESA”) of 17 February 2015. The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries has cooperated with the Ministry of Justice, which is responsible for the legislation on access to information and with Posten Norway AS (“Posten”) answering the letter. The Norwegian Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries notices that the principle conclusions drawn by ESA on the Norwegian legislation on access to information in the letter seem to come from the perception from ESAs side that there is a legislative conflict between the public procurement rules and the Norwegian Freedom of Information Act. In ESA’s opinion this conflict has the effect of preventing participants in a procurement procedure from being informed of the reasons for their exclusion in a pre-selection procedure. Thus, our starting point for answering this letter has been to carefully assess and explain the reasoning behind the material scope of the Freedom of Information Act, and how and why Posten falls outside the scope. Thereafter, we will explain how the obligation of a contracting entity to provide reasons has been implemented in Norway and in which manner candidates participating in a pre- Postal address Office address Telephone* <engelsk navn> Our officer PO Box 8090 Dep Akersgata 59 +47 22 24 90 90 Margrét Gunnarsdóttir 0032 Oslo Vat no.
