's message, "A Noruega não pertence à UE. A Noruega não está associada a nenhuma Agência da UE..." on 1/06/05 21:19:23
Pôça... Mas alguém disse que a Noruega fazia parte da União Europeia???
O que se disse - e se repete - é que a Noruega coopera (de forma institucionalizada (estando associada a diversas agências da UE) com os diversos orgãos da Comissão. Até participa em reuniões do Conselho...
Aqui vão alguns textos em Inglês... Retirados de sitios oficiais do Reino da Noruega.
The top priority in EU-Norway relations between 2002 and 2004 was to reach an agreement on the enlargement of the EEA simultaneously with the enlargement of the EU. An “EEA Enlargement Agreement” was negotiated to this effect, and entered into force on 1 May 2004. The amendments to the EEA Agreement are mainly technical, taking over the relevant provisions of the EU Act of Accession, but considerable new financial contributions from the EEA EFTA States and in particular Norway were also agreed to contribute to social and economic cohesion in the enlarged internal market. Increased quotas for certain marine and agricultural products were also agreed in the context of enlargement.
Through the EEA Agreement, Norway participates in a large number of EU programmes covering most EU policy areas, including enterprise, environment, education and research programmes. In the EEA context, Norway is also associated to various EU agencies and the INTERREG programmes. Norway is also associated to the ESDP.
Norway has an association agreement with EU concerning the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis. Norway participates in the work of the Council through a Mixed Committee as of May 1999 and the operational parts of the Agreement were implemented in March 2001. An agreement between the EU, Iceland and Norway concerning the criteria and mechanisms for establishing the State responsible for examining a request for asylum entered in force on 1 April 2001, associating Norway with the Dublin convention and Eurodac. Norway furthermore has a co-operation agreement with Europol since June 2001 and has in 2003 applied to participate in the Eurojust co-operation. Agreement with Norway and Iceland on mutual assistance in criminal matters, signed 19.12.2003
In NorwayAll public procurement contracts exceeding certain threshold values must be published in the Official Journal of the European Union and in the Tenders Electronic Daily (TED) databank. Furthermore, public agencies must publish general annual plans for purchases of goods and services, as well as general information on any major building and construction projects planned. No later than two months after a contract have been awarded, a notice stating which company won the contract must be published. All notices must be published in an EU language. The purchaser is on the other hand free to decide which language(s) is/are to be used during the rest of the procurement process.
As a consequence, Norway is not a Member State of the EU, and the relationship with the Union is therefore based on other forms and means of close contact and co-operation. This co-operation enables Norway to maintain a very high level of economic integration, and political co-operation, with the EU and its Member States.
Through the EEA-Agreement Norway and the other EEA EFTA States have taken on the obligation to implement all EU legislation relevant to the functioning of the internal market. The EEA Committee takes the decision on whether new Community legislation is of EEA-relevance, with joint participation by the EU Commission and the EEA EFTA Member States. Thereafter, it is up to the national parliaments and legislators to ensure the national implementation. The EEA Agreement also ensures the EEA EFTA States some access to the preparatory work on new EU legislation on expert level (when prepared by the Commission).
Norway and the EEA financial mechanisms
Under the EEA Enlargement Agreement, Norway will contribute EUR 1.134 billion to 13 EU member states through two new financial mechanisms.
The purpose is to contribute to the reduction of social and economic disparities in Europe, and to support the new EU member states in their efforts to participate fully in the enlarged internal market.
A wide range of public authorities and institutions, organisations and businesses in the beneficiary states are eligible for funds for development and investment projects.
