Hei,
nei, nå ser jeg det.
Jeg sendte en e-post til deg:
Hei,
jeg er ikke så vant til å drive med ting som har med EU eller EFTA å gjøre, men jeg hadde noen spørsmål,
angående rettighetene til innbyggere fra EFTA land som er med i EØS, og som bor i EU.
Og da sendte jeg det først til noe som heter EU Ombudsmannen, men det har jeg skjønt nå at var galt.
Det er min feil, som ikke er vant til hvor man skal henvende seg, når det gjelder EU og EFTA-saker.
Men jeg har jo lest nå, på nettet osv., at det er tre EFTA land, som er med i EØS-avtalen.
Og siden jeg er fra et av de EFTA-landene, så er det vel riktig av meg, å ta opp spøsmål angående EØS-
avtalen, med EFTA og ikke EU, hvis det er noe jeg lurer på, angående rettigheter osv.
Har jeg ressonert riktig da?
Jeg sender med en kopi av e-posten jeg først sendte EU-ombudsmannen, samt en kopi av svaret,
for å forklare mer, om hva spørsmålene gjelder.
Så håper jeg at jeg har klart å sende spøsmålene riktig nå, og jeg sier på forhånd tusen takk for svar!
Med vennlig hilsen
Erik Ribsskog

Også fjernet dere e-posten som var på norsk, og så svarte Sigurdardottir.
Er ikke det litt spesielt da, at dere fjernet e-posten min, som var på norsk?
Og en annen ting, du skrev til meg på engelsk, på den første e-posten jeg fikk igår, enda vi pratet sammen på norsk, på torsdag, på telefonen.
Hva var poenget med det liksom?
Er det sånn at nordmenn kan skrive på norsk til EFTA, eller er EFTA-språket engelsk?
Mvh.

Hei,
Hvis du ser nærmere på eposten, så har du videresendt oss
din korrespondanse med European Ombudsmann, vi i EFTA har ikke vært i kontakt
med dem på noe tidspunkt. I den originale eposten du sendte oss, så skrev du at
du hadde vært i kontakt med European Ombudsmann, men at dette var gal instans
for ditt spørsmål, epost 7. juli 2008.

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!
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).

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.

Hei,
takk for svar!
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?

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.
Best
regards,
Elin

Dear Mr.

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.

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!
Yours sincerely,
Erik Ribsskog
