STATE AID — NORWAY

Notice by the EFTA Surveillance Authority to EFTA States, EU Member States and other interested parties

State aid measure 56136 (former 48001) — Intended prolongation of the Hurtigruten Agreement

(2005/C 185/07)

By letter dated 20 April 2004, the Norwegian Government notified the EFTA Surveillance Authority of its intention to prolong the so-called Hurtigruten agreement for maritime transport services along the Norwegian coast for the years 2005 and potentially 2006. The agreements would have involved budgetary allocations to the companies operating the service for the discharge of public service obligations.

On 11 August 2004, the Authority initiated the formal investigation procedure laid down in Article 1(2) in Part I of Protocol 3 to the Surveillance and Court Agreement in respect of the proposed aid. Before that decision was published in the Official Journal and the EEA Supplement thereto, Norway withdrew, by letter dated 29 September 2004, the above notification.

As the Norwegian Government has withdrawn the notification and does not intend to prolong the agreements and grant the aid initially notified, the Authority has decided to close the proceedings initiated under Article 1(2) in Part I of Protocol 3 to the Surveillance and Court Agreement.
