EFTA COURT

Action brought on 30 July 2002 by Technologien, Bau- und Wirtschaftsberatung GmbH and The
Bellona Foundation against the EFTA Surveillance Authority

(Case E-2/02)

(2002/C 293/07)

by Technologien, Bau- und Wirtschaftsberatung GmbH and The Bellona Foundation, represented by
Advokathuset Feydt & Hamborgstrøm, St. Olavs gate 21A, N-0165 Oslo.

The applicant claims that the Court should:

1. annual the decision of the EFTA Surveillance Authority of 31 May 2002 — on the notifications of a
proposal for amended depreciation rules on the Petroleum Tax Act for production equipment and
pipelines for gas linked to new large-scale liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities located in Finnmark
county or the municipalities of Kåfjord, Skjervøy, Nordreisa or Kvænangen in Troms county and the
application of these rules to the Snøhvit project (Aid No 020.500.041) (Norway); and

2. order the EFTA Surveillance Authority to pay the costs of the proceedings.

Legal and factual background and pleas in law adduced in support

— Article 5.2(1) of the EFTA Surveillance Authority's State Aid Guidelines, provides that ‘the EFTA
Surveillance Authority is obliged to open the procedure provided for in Article 1(2) of Protocol 3
to the Surveillance and Court Agreement whenever it is in any doubt about the compatibility of the aid
with the functioning of the EEA Agreement.’

— Article 61(3)(c) of the EEA Agreement provides that ‘aid to facilitate the development of certain
economic activities or of certain economic areas where such aid does not adversely affect trading
conditions to an extent contrary to the common interest’ may be considered compatible with the
functioning of the EEA Agreement.

— The applicant pleas that the EFTA Surveillance Authority has misused its powers and infringed general

principles of Community law.
