I. HORIZONTAL
COMMITMENTS
ALL SECTORSINCLUDED IN THISSCHEDULE
All sectors: Establishment -General authorization
procedures for acquisition3)    Corporations registered in Norway, where
more than 1/3 of the voting rights are
controlled by non-nationals or foreign
controlled companies, or where the chairman
and the majority of the board members are
non-nationals, are subject to concession when
acquiring real estate or entering into certain
lease contracts with regard to such objects
Foreigners and foreign controlled companies in
Norway need a concession for purchases of
real property, whether building and/or land,
without regard to the purpose for which the
property will be used
Leases of real property for a period of more
than 10 years are subject to concession
requirement.  If the property is to be used for
manufacturing purposes, a concession is
required without regard to the lease period.TN/S/O/NOR

3),4)Foreign citizens residing in Norway who
purchase or lease real property for housing,
secondary residences and business activities
without a concession, are subject to the
condition that the real property is acquired for
their own personal use.  A foreign citizen that
purchases or leases real property as a
secondary residence must apply for a
concession if the citizen neither lives in
Norway, nor has been living in Norway for at
least five years.
A concession can only be granted when it is
not contrary to the public interest.  An
acquisition is normally judged on the impact it
will have on future activity and employment in
the company and the society as a whole.
Legislation governing acquisitions has
traditionally been liberally applied.  It
authorizes the setting of conditions, in a large
majority of the cases involving over 1/3 of
foreign ownership - related to voting shares.
Conditions are largely standardized.  Two
conditions are regarded as important and are
stipulated in most cases: a majority of the
board and its chairman must be Norwegian
nationals and, the transactions between the
Norwegian company and the foreign owner
must be based on OECD's principle of arm's
length prices.TN/S/O/NOR

Additional Commitment by Norway for Telecommunications services
Scope
The following are definitions and principles on the regulatory framework for the basic
telecommunications services.
DefinitionsUsers mean service consumers and service suppliers.Essential facilities mean facilities of a public te lecommunications transport network and service that
(a) are exclusively or predominantly provided by a single or limited number of suppliers;
and
(b) cannot feasibly be economically or technically substituted in order to provide a 
service.
A major supplier is a supplier which has the ability to materially affect the terms of participation (having
regard to price and supply) in the relevant market for basic telecommunications services as a result of:
(a) control over essential facilities;  or
(b) use of its position in the market.
1. Competitive safeguards1.1 Prevention of anti-competitive practices in telecommunicationsAppropriate measures shall be maintained for the purpose of preventing suppliers who, alone or
together, are a major supplier from engaging in or continuing anti-competitive practices.
1.2 SafeguardsThe anti-competitive practices referred to above shall include in particular:
(a) engaging in anti-competitive cross-subsidization;
(b) using information obtained from compe titors with anti-competitive results;  and
(c) not making available to other services suppliers on a timely basis technical  information
about essential facilities and commercially relevant information which are necessary for
them to provide services.
2. Interconnection2.1 This section applies to linking with supplie rs providing public telecommunications transport
networks or services in order to allow the users of one supplier to communicate with users of another
supplier and  to access services provided by another supplier.TN/S/O/NOR
Page 40
2.2 Interconnection to be ensured
Within the limits of permitted market access, interconnection with a major supplier will be
ensured at any technically feasible point in the network.  Such interconnection is provided2:
(a) under non-discriminatory terms, conditions (including technical standards and
specifications) and rates and of a quality no le ss favorable than that provided for its own
like services or for like services of non-affiliated service suppliers or for its subsidiaries
or other affiliates3;
(b) in a timely fashion, on terms, conditions  (including technical standards and
specifications) and cost-oriented rates that ar e transparent, reasonable, having regard to
economic feasibility, and sufficiently unbundled so that the supplier need not pay for
network components or facilities that it does not  require for the service to be provided;
and
(c) upon request, at points in addition to th e network termination points offered to the
majority of users, subject to charges that reflect the cost of construction of necessary
additional facilities.
2.3 Public availability of the proced ures for interconnection negotiations
The procedures applicable for interconnection to a major supplier will be made publicly 
available.
2.4 Transparency of interconnection arrangements
It is ensured that a major supplier will make  publicly available either its interconnection
agreements or a reference interconnection offer.
2.5 Interconnection:  dispute settlement
A service supplier requesting interconnection with a major supplier will have recourse, either:
(a) at any time or
(b) after a reasonable period of time which has been made publicly known
to an independent domestic body, which may be a regulatory body as referred to in paragraph 5 below,
to resolve disputes regarding appropriate terms,  conditions and rates for interconnection within a
reasonable period of time, to the extent that these have not been established previously.
                                                     
     2 Suppliers of services or networks not generally available to the public, such as closed user groups,
have guaranteed rights to connect with the public telecommunications transport network or services on terms,
conditions and rates which are non-discriminatory, transparent and cost-oriented.  Such terms, conditions and rates
may, however, vary from the terms, conditions and rates applicable to interconnection between publictelecommunications networks or services.
     3  Different terms, conditions and rates may be set in Norway for operators in different market
segments, on the basis of non-discriminatory and transparent national licensing provisions, where such differences
can be objectively justified because these services are not considered 'like services'.TN/S/O/NOR
Page 41
3. Universal service
Any Member has the right to define the kind of universal service obligation it wishes to
maintain.  Such obligations will not be regarded as anti-competitive per se , provided they are
administered in a transparent, non-discriminatory  and competitively neutral manner and are not more
burdensome than necessary for the kind of universal service defined by the Member.
4. Public availability of licensing criteria
Where a licence is required, the following will be made publicly available:(a) all the licensing criteria and the period of time normally required to reach a decision
concerning an application for a licence  and
(b) the terms and conditions of  individual licences.The reasons for the denial of a licence will be made known to the applicant upon request.
5. Independent regulators
The regulatory body is separate from, and not accountable to, any supplier of basic
telecommunications services.  The decisions of and the procedures used by regulators shall be impartial
with respect to all market participants.
6. Allocation and use of scarce resources
Any procedures for the allocation and use of scarce resources, including frequencies, numbers
and rights of way, will be carried out in an ob jective, timely, transparent and non-discriminatory
manner. The current state of allocated frequency bands will be made publicly available, but detailed
identification of frequencies allocated for specific government uses is not required.

information systems and electronic data interchange (subject to the provisions
of the Annex on telecommunications);
(e) the setting of any business arrangements (including participation in the stock
of a company) and the appointment of personnel recruited locally (or, in the
case of foreign personnel, subject to the horizontal commitment on
movement of personnel) with any locally established shipping agency;
(f) acting on behalf of the companies, organizing the call of the ship or taking
over cargoes when required.TN/S/O/NOR
Page 43
3. "Maritime cargo handling services" means activities exercised by stevedore companies,
including terminal operators, but not including the direct activities of dockers, when this workforce is
organized independently of the stevedoring or term inal operator companies.  The activities covered
include the organization and supervision of:
- the loading/discharging of cargo to/from a ship;
- the lashing/unlashing of cargo;
- the reception/delivery and safekeeping of cargoes before shipment or after discharge.
4. "Customs clearance services" (alternatively "customs house brokers' services") means
activities consisting in carrying out on behalf of another party customs formalities concerning import,
export or through transport of cargoes, whether this service is the main activity of the service provideror a usual complement of its main activity.
5. "Container station and depot services" means activities consisting in storing containers,
whether in a port area or inland, with a view to their stuffing/stripping, repairing, and making them
available for shipments.
6. "Maritime agency services" means the activitie s consisting in representing, within a given
geographic area, as an agent the business interests of one or more shipping lines or shipping
companies, for the following purposes:
