Jeg sendte en ny e-post, til Nærings- og Handelsdepartementet, angående brudd på EØS-avtalen, mm.

Hei, jeg har kontaktet dere angående brudd på EØS-avtalen og en klage på EFTA, tidligere. Her er en e-post jeg sendte Liverpool City Council, idag, angående problemer for norske folk, med å få lån i Storbritannia, grunnet at norske folk ikke får lov å være i 'the electorial register', hvor lånegivere sjekker om folk er, før de gir lån. Jeg tenkte at jeg kanskje skulle sende om dette til EU-kommisjonen og, for det er vel brudd på EØS-avtalen, såvidt jeg kan skjønne. Men, jeg fikk råd av Solvit, å kontakte EU-kommisjonen, etter at dere hadde sendt min e-post til Solvit. Men Solvit, de nevnte ikke noe kontaktinformasjon, for EU-kommisjonen, så jeg kontaktet den i Danmark, siden jeg tenkte at det måtte være en av de nærmeste. Men, EU-kommisjonen i Danmark, de sendte e-posten min, til EU-kommisjonen for Norge og Island, i Oslo(!) Jeg visste jo ikke at de hadde kontor i Norge. Men EU-kommisjonen i Oslo, de svarer ikke på e-posten som danskene sendte dem, de i Oslo, de sender ikke noe e-post til meg, om at de har mottatt min henvendelse, engang. Så jeg lurer på hva jeg burde gjøre med denne klagen da. Og har dere noe tips om hva jeg burde gjøre, når ambassaden i London, ikke svarer? Hverken UD eller Sivilombudsmannen, gjør noen ting, men lar de ture og fortsette, med å ikke svare meg, enda Sivilombudsmannen først sa at ambassaden måtte svare meg, men de har ikke kommet med noen beklagelse, eller noe som helst, til meg, etter at Sivilombudsmannen gjorde dette klart, at de måtte svare. Jeg har bare fått noen e-poster fra UD, men ambassaden burde nå beklage, synes jeg. Og nå, så kan jeg jo ikke sende til ambassaden, og må forklare dette til britene. Det er jo flaut for landet Norge og meg selv som nordmann, vil jeg si. Så om noen kunne få ambassaden til å seg sammen, for det klarer tydeligvis ikke hverken Sivilombudsmannen eller UD, så jeg tenkte at kanskje dere klarte det. Vi får se. Mvh. Erik Ribsskog ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Erik Ribsskog <eribsskog@gmail.com> Date: Wed, Aug 12, 2009 at 12:01 AM Subject: Electoral register To: elections@liverpool.gov.uk Hi, today, I got the form, to register, on the electoral register, for the third time, I think it is. On the front-page, of the form, it says 'European [..] citizen'. But then, it means EU-citizen, as I've been explained earlier. But, I'm from Norway, and Norway are in Europe, on the map, at least the last time I checked. Why do you use the term 'European citizen', when you don't mean eg. Norway or Switzerland, who are also in Europe. Iceland and Lichtenstein, are also in Europe, the are European countries, at least we learned this at school in Norway, that Europe was one of the 'verdensdeler', 'world-parts' or continents. So why do you say European citizen instead of EU-citizen, because I think that can be a bit disrespectful, towards the EFTA-countries, Norway, Switzerland, Iceland and Liechtenstein, who aren't in the EU. Another thing I was wondering about, is that if people apply for a loan, i the UK, they have to be in the electoral register, as far as I understand. But, Norwegians aren't allowed to be in the electoral register, since we aren't in the EU. But, there is an agreement between the EFTA countries (including Norway), and the UK, called the EEA-agreement, that says that Norwegians should have the same rights, as EU-citizens, in the EU. But I don't think Norwegians get the same rights, to have a loan, since we can't be in the electoral register. I think, to get a loan, is part of what the EEA-agreement, is meant to cover, the four freedoms and all that, free movement of people, but then the Norwegians should be allowed to get a loan. I understand that Norwegians aren't allowed to vote, since Norway aren't in the EU. But, I think, that according to the EEA, that Norwegians should be allowed to get a loan, but this electoral register, it means, that we can't get a loan, since we aren't allowed to be in the electoral register. So this I don't think is in line with the EEA-agreement. Normally, I would have sent this, to the Norwegian embassy, but they, don't answer my corresponence, even if an ombudsman, in Norway, Sivilombusmannen, has told them to do so, but the embassy refuse, for more than a year now, to answer my correspondence, even if can't understand why they do this. I even went with the train, to London, with some files, (to do with an employment-case, involving many Nordic citizens), to deliver them in person, instead of sending them in the post, and still the treat me like this. I don't think this is easy to understand. But anyway. Sorry that I wrote a lot about the EEA-agreement etc., but I hope you have the oppertunity, to explain why it says 'European citizen', and not 'EU-citizen', on this form, an on the John Lennon airport sometimes as well, I remember, from when I was there, in 2005. Just out of curiosity, if you have the time, that is. Thank you very much for your help in advance! Yours sincerely, Erik Ribsskog
