Ok, men jeg sjekka det igjen nå, og e-posten jeg fikk fra Sigurdardottir, var en som var sendt EFTA fra the EURO Ombudsmann, (hvis du ser nederst i denne e-posten). Har dere vært i kontakt med the EURO ombudsman da? For man kan jo se, at the European Ombudsman, sier at jeg kan kontakte Europe Direct, om dette. Men hvorfor har the European Ombudsman sendt dette til EFTA da, hvis de ber meg ta det med Europe Direct? Har dere bedt the European Ombudsman om å sende det til dere da? Bare lurte på hva som har foregått. Håper dette er i orden! Mvh. Erik Ribsskog PS. Dessuten så sier Handels- og Næringsdepartementet i Norge, at jeg ikke kan klage på EFTA, til departementene. Det var derfor jeg ringte deg, i forrige uke, for jeg tenkte jeg skulle eskalere det innen EFTA. Men jeg får vel bare sende det til UD likevel da, på tross av hva Handels- og Næringsdepartementet skriver. (Bare prøver å finne ut hvordan det er riktig å gjøre dette). 2009/9/28 BJERKEBO Elin <Elin.BJERKEBO@efta.int> Hei, Linda Sigurdardottir var ansatt i EFTA frem til februar 2009, og jobbet for avdeling for Services, Capital, Persons and Programmes. Jeg beklager forvirringen rundt dette, men assosierte henne ikke umiddelbart med etternavnet når du ringte. Grunnen til at Linda besvarte eposten din, er fordi jeg videresendte den til denne avdelingen som vet mer om området.

Men kan du bekrefte det du sa på telefonen på fredag, at du ikke visste hvem hun Sigurdardottir var. Og hvordan kan det ha seg at hun svarte på e-post som jeg sendte deg? Mvh. Erik Ribsskog 2009/9/28 BJERKEBO Elin <Elin.BJERKEBO@efta.int> Dear Mr. Ribsskog, In reference to our phone conversation on 24 September 2009, we would like to clarify what the EFTA Secretariat works with, in order to avoid any further misunderstandings. The role of the EFTA Secretariat is to provide support for the management of the EEA Agreement and assist the EEA EFTA States in the preparation of new legislation for integration into the EEA Agreement. The EFTA Secretariat is not entrusted with surveillance of correct implementation or enforcement of EEA legal acts. The surveillance role within the EEA Agreement is entrusted to the EFTA Surveillance Authority which is to ensure correct implementation and enforcement of EEA legal acts within the EEA EFTA States, i.e. Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. On the EU side it is generally the role of the European Commission and the European Court of Justice to ensure that the EU Member States enforce and implement corresponding EU rules correctly. Unfortunately, the EFTA Secretariat does therefore neither have the competence nor the mandate to deal with a potential violation of EEA rules in the United Kingdom and can therefore not be of help to you in this case. Should you wish to file a complaint about the work of the EFTA Secretariat in Brussels the appropriate party to turn to in the case of a Norwegian citizen would be the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

To: Erik Ribsskog <eribsskog@gmail.com> Dear Mr. Ribsskog, Thank you for your email. Unfortunately the EFTA Secretariat is not competent to deal with your case. I am afraid that we can not assist you any further in this matter. Best regards, Linda Bjork -----Original Message----- From: Erik Ribsskog [mailto:eribsskog@gmail.com] Sent: 16 October 2008 03:55 To: SIGURDARDOTTIR Linda Bjork Subject: Re: Spørsmål om rettigheter innenfor EØS-området/Fwd: The European Economic Area. Hi, thank you very much for your e-mail! I've contacted Solvit now, regarding the problems I've been having with the British Police, the IPCC, and the Ministry of Justice, etc., that they aren't answering my e-mails, and they aren't returning my phone- calls. The Merseyside Police didn't call me back, even if I went to the Norwegian Consulate, here in Liverpool, and got them to call the Police, after I'd tried to call myself a lot of times, but the Police just didn't call back. It's the same with the IPCC, they don't call back, and they don't answer e-mails. The Home Office, tells me, that then I have to take the IPCC to Court. But, I've been trying to get a work-case against Bertelsmann Arvatos Microsoft Scandinavian Product Activation, to the Court, in Britain, for almost two years now, but even the law-firms, don't want to do their job, it seems. (Within the legal aid programme). But Solvit says that this is my fault, that I'm experiencing problems with the communication with the autorothies. When it's the Police and the IPCC, who aren't returning my phone-calls and e-mails. I think I have the same right, to get my correspondence answered, like an EU-citizen. How can I get my rights, if I don't even get to speak with the case-worker? So I'm trying to send back a copy of the correspondence with Solvit Norway. Maybe you understand more about how to explain the problems to Solvit, than I do. Hope this is alright, and thanks again for the first e-mail!
