         Request for an Advisory Opinion from the EFTA Court by Oslo tingrett dated 14 September 2007 in the case of Celina Nguyen v The Norwegian State, represented by the Ministry of Justice and the Police
   (Case E-8/07)
   (2008/C 33/08)
   A request has been made to the EFTA Court by a letter of 14 September 2007 from Oslo tingrett (Oslo District Court), which was received at the Court Registry on 17 September 2007, for an Advisory Opinion in the case of Celina Nguyen v The Norwegian State, represented by the Ministry of Justice and the Police, on the following questions:
   
               1.
            
            
               Is it compatible with the Motor Vehicle Insurance Directives to except redress for non-economic loss (‘pain and suffering’) from the compulsory insurance system under national law?
            
         
               2.
            
            
               If the question is answered in the negative: is an exception from the insurance coverage as mentioned in question 1, a sufficiently serious breach of the Motor Vehicle Insurance Directives to be able to entail State liability?
