Stikkord: E-post

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.

Hvis du som norsk statsborger ønsker å klage på EFTA

Sekretariatet, så er Utenriksdepartementet rett

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).

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.

Mvh,

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?

Mvh.

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.

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.

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
