Hei,   jeg kontaktet EFTA, for å forsikre meg, om at man har samme rettigheter, som norsk statsborger, som jobber i Storbritannia, etter at EØS-avtalen kom, som britiske statsborgere. Og EFTA, kunne bekrefte at det var riktig, at nordmenn hadde de samme rettighetene, som britiske statsborgere og EU-statsborgere, når man oppholdt seg, og jobber, som nordmann, i Storbritannia, og følger vilkårene, som er nevnt i EØS-avtalen.   EFTA anbefalte meg, å kontake dere, i Solvit.   Problemet er, at jeg blir 'tullet med' av mange myndigheter, i både Norge og Storbritannia.   Jeg kontaktet EFTA, angående problemene med britiske myndigheter, først og fremst.   Men jeg blir også 'tullet' mye med, av norske myndigheter. Så det kan kanskje også være et problem, at norske myndigheter, ikke forstår EØS-avtalen.   Fordi, som jeg forstår det, så har man fortsatt rettigheter i Norge, siden man fortsatt er norsk statsborger, selv om man jobber noen år i Storbritannia, f.eks.   Men det er mulig at dette også går andre veien, at norske myndigheter, tror det er fritt fram, for å tulle med en, siden man bor i utlandet. Nå er det så mange myndigheter som tuller med meg, så jeg må nesten ta dette ganske generellt.   Jeg bruker så mye tid, på å stå opp mot, alle disse myndighetene, i Norge og Storbritannia, som tuller med meg, så jeg har nesten ikke tid til å gjøre jobben min. Jeg får ikke brukt så mye tid på jobben min, som jeg burde, så jeg er forsinket med alle regninger, og har knapt penger til å kjøpe basis matvarer. Så jeg sender ikke noe detaljert klage nå, for det har jeg rett og slett ikke tid til nå, fordi denne 'tullingen', fra norske og britiske myndigheter, er så omfattende.   I går, så sendte jeg et brev, til den europeiske menneskerettighetsdomstolen, i Strasbourg, og jeg sender med en kopi av det brevet, som vedlegg, for å forklare litt av hva som foregår. Så håper jeg dere har muligheten til å hjelpe meg med dette!   Med vennlig hilsen Erik Ribsskog 2 attachments scan0004.jpg 419K scan0005.jpg 307K

Dear Mr. Ribsskog,   The EFTA Secretariat has received your request concerning the rights of Norwegian citizens living and working in the UK.    For your information, the task of EFTA Secretariat in Brussels is mainly to provide support to the EEA EFTA States for the management of the EEA Agreement and assists them in the preparation of the incorporation of new legislation into the EEA Agreement.    Norway is a Party to the EEA agreement and therefore the same rules apply to Norwegian citizens as to EU country citizens when it concerns the Internal Market, i.e. freedom of movement of goods, persons, services and capital.  As a Norwegian citizen living and working in UK you should enjoy the same rights as UK citizens when you are making use of these freedoms (Art. 4 of the EEA Agreement).    You could try to contact SOLVIT which is an on-line problem solving network.  They try to solve problems caused by the misapplication of the Internal Market law by public authorities.  As you are a Norwegian citizen, you should contact the Norwegian SOLVIT Centre (tel.: +47 222 404 11; email: solvit-norway@nhd.dep.no  website: http://ec.europa.eu/solvit/ )   We are sorry to inform you that the EFTA Secretariat can unfortunately not help you any further in this matter.      With best regards,   Linda Bjork Sigurdardottir EFTA - European Free Trade Association   E-mail: lbs@efta.int | Web: www.efta.int Rue Joseph II 12-16 | B-1000 Brussels | Belgium       ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Euro-Ombudsman <EO@ombudsman.europa.eu> Date: Jul 7, 2008 1:48 PM Subject: RE: The European Economic Area. To: Erik Ribsskog <eribsskog@gmail.com>   Dear Mr Ribsskog,   Thank you for your e-mail of 30 June 2008, in which you ask if you, as a Norwegian citizen living in Britain, have the right to get help from the police and the British government.   In replying to your e-mail, first, I would like to give a short presentation of the work of the European Ombudsman.   The European Ombudsman investigates complaints about maladministration by the institutions and bodies of the European Union. This means that you can complain to the Ombudsman if you consider that, for instance, the European Commission, the European Parliament or the Council of the European Union has done something wrong.   It is thus not part of the Ombudsman's function to provide you with the kind of information that you are asking for.   However, you could consider turning to EuropeDirect, which provides practical information in the official EU language of your choice about the European Union and its policies or a reference to further sources of information. You can reach the service by calling the following toll-free number from anywhere in the EU during opening hours (9h00-18h30 CET on weekdays):   00 800 6 7 8 9 10 11   Or call the standard number + 32-2-299.96.96 from anywhere in the world (normal charges apply).   You can also contact the service by sending an e-mail:   http://europedirect-cc.cec.eu.int/websubmit/?lang=en   For more information on Europe Direct, you can consult the following website:   http://ec.europa.eu/europedirect/index_en.htm   Yours sincerely,   Angela Lindberg Office of the European Ombudsman       From: Erik Ribsskog [mailto:eribsskog@gmail.com] Sent: 30 June 2008 21:58 To: Euro-Ombudsman Subject: The European Economic Area.   Hi,   I'm a Norwegian citizen living in Britain.   Here, there have been many problems, at work, and regarding a complaint against the Police etc., that I haven't got any help with. (I've also contacted the Norwegian Government, regarding these problems, but they don't answer my e-mails, and the Sivilombudsmannen, is part of a cover-up, from the Government, it seems, even if I wont explain this in detail now, but I can explain more detailed if it's needed).   I was wondering, since Norway, are part of the European Economical Area. So Norwegian citizens, are allowed, to live and work, in Britain, like if they were EU-Citizens, as I've understood it. But, I was wondering if this means, that one, as a Norwegian citizen in Britain, also has the right, to get help/advice from the Police, and other Goverment in Britain, like if one was an EU-citizen?   I think, that if one have the right to work and live in an EU-country, like the 'EFTA/EØS-agreement' says, then only has the right help from the Government, it that EU-country (the Police etc), like if one were an EU-citizen, right?   I just wanted to try to get this clear, since I'm having some problems, both with the Norwegian and the British Goverment now, so I just wanted to know, if some this could be something to do, with that one aren't that well protected by rights, if one are a Norwegian citizen living in the EU? Hope that you have the chance to answer about this, and thanks in advance for the reply!   Yours sincerely, Erik Ribsskog
