Date of adoption: 8 February 2006

EFTA State: Norway

Aid No: 59033

Title: National direct transport aid scheme

Objective: The objective of the scheme is to offset competitive

Legal basis: Regulation No 565 of 09.05.2003 on investment
grants and delimitation of the geographical area for develop-
ment funds (Forskrift om investeringstilskot og avgrensing av det
geografiske verkeområdet for dei regional- og distriktspolitiske verke-

midla), Regulation No 1461 of 24.06.2004 on national trans-
port aid (Forskrift om nasjonal transportstøtte), Proposition to the
Storting No 1 (2004-2005) from the Ministry of Local Govern-
ment and Regional Development
(the State budget), and
National guidelines for transport aid (Nasjonale retningslinjer for
transportstøtte)

Budget/Duration: The budget of
the scheme is NOK 375
million (approximately EUR 47 million) per year. The duration
of the scheme is until 31 December 2006. The authorized
amendments will be valuable for 2005 and 2006
