It is considered worldwide to be a test market for new sophisticated products/technology and an easy-to-enter export market for new and new-to-export companies. English is widely spoken, business agreements are reliable, and the infrastructure is first rate. The Nordic countries have close ties to the United States culturally, politically, and historically. There are great opportunities for American businesses. • The Nordic countries are closely related in terms of language (except for Finland), ethnic roots, religion, history and a host of other ways, but they also differ in many ways.

This trend is mainly due to the fact all stakeholders made significant efforts to progressively electrify both the vehicle fleet and maritime transport. Road freight and domestic air travel are already in line as the next upcoming challenges. Norwegian local governments’ efforts in terms of public transit in urban areas have delivered real results but did not lead to a fall in transport demand at the national level. Only train journeys have recently decreased. •1 Key takeaways Norway witnessed a decline The increasing urbanisation of in its transport CO emissions, the Norwegian population, as well as 2 TRANSPORT decreasing by 11.4 % between 2012 and the multi-level consultation tools (Urban 2018, yet national CO2 emissions remain relatively Environment Agreements) and the public stable. expenditure orientation of the National Transport Plan (NTP) make cities the driving NORWAY This decrease is mostly due to forces for the development of public and low- the decarbonation of the vehicle fleet impact transport.

  • Annual Report 2002 EFTA Surveillance Authority Rue De Trèves 74 B-1040 Brussels Summary 2001
    Annual Report 2002 EFTA Surveillance Authority Rue de Trèves 74 B-1040 Brussels www.eftasurv.int Summary 2001 Foreword The Agreement on the European Economic Area has now been in force for nine years. The Agreement continues to ensure access to an increasingly important Internal Market, and is a cornerstone of trade policy in the EFTA States. With its dynamic character, the EEA Agreement has stood the test of time. Just as the Agreement functions in parallel with the EC Treaty to ensure a homogenous Internal Market, the Authority works in parallel with the European Commission to ensure that the Agreement is implemented and applied in an equal manner throughout the European Economic Area. It is worth noting, however, that certain Articles of the EC Treaty, which have been added since 1992, are not reflected in the EEA Agreement. There is a growing concern that differences between the EC Treaty and the EEA Agreement may eventually result in an Internal Market moving at different speeds, thus reducing the efficiency of the Internal Market. During 2002, considerable effort was made by the EFTA States to improve their implementation records for EEA law. These efforts have been fruitful: all the EFTA States now figure among the EEA countries with the highest implementation scores. Statistics show that the number of cases dealt with by the Authority in 2002 has been reduced compared to the previous year. This can be attributed in part to the improved implementation records of the EFTA States, and in part to a gradual shift in focus of the Authority’s tasks towards resolution of complaints and examination of implementing legislation and away from legislative notification by EFTA States.
