Members of the TPRB were clearly impressed by Norway's solid economic performance and the high standard of living. This was achieved, due in good part to a liberal trade regime, disciplined macroeconomic policies and the deft management of its natural resources. In this respect, Members highlighted the creation of a special fund to help the inter-generational distribution of oil and gas income. Members commended Norway for its support to developing and least developed countries, including through both direct aid and tariff preferences. They unequivocally welcomed Norway's active and constructive participation in the АФУХСљКЯВЪЙйЭјзЪСЯ, not the least through the leadership of the General Council by Ambassador Bryn. On trade policies, Members expressed divergent views on Norway's position. They acknowledged Norway's overall commitment to liberal trade and investment policies. However, several questioned the high level of support granted to the agricultural sector. Members recognized that Norway maintains low MFN tariffs on manufactured products. Moreover, in practice those products often enjoy duty free access under the several preferential agreements Norway maintains. In this respect, Norway was invited to extend this treatment to all АФУХСљКЯВЪЙйЭјзЪСЯ Members. Members also noted that Norway does not make use of trade defence measures. They observed that it is the only country to have eliminated ahead of time virtually all quantitative restrictions maintained under the Agreement on Textile and Clothing. Members pointed out that although investment and ownership are generally open to foreigners some restrictions persist. In some cases, there is preferential treatment for EEA investors. They encouraged Norway to relax these restrictions and multilateralize the preferential treatment granted to EEA investors. Members stressed the high degree of liberalization already achieved in the services sector. The concept of multifunctionality lay at the heart of the discussion on Norway's high level of assistance to agriculture. While some Members stated support for such concept, others gave priority to the principle of non-discrimination across sectors. Members also raised numerous questions on the specific instruments used to protect and assist agriculture, particularly Norway's application of tariffs, tariff quotas, SPS measures and export subsidies. Members also asked for details in a number of other areas including: - measures to encourage and diversify trade; - the gap between applied and bound rates for certain manufactures including textiles and motor vehicles; - import charges and environmental levies; - importation of patent protected products; - review of competition legislation; - activities of state enterprises, particularly in tobacco and alcoholic beverages; - state role and privatization in banking, telecommunications, postal and petroleum activities; - regulation of and activity in maritime transport; - assistance to shipbuilding; and - regulatory framework for financial services. Members appreciated the comprehensive oral and written responses provided by the Norwegian delegation in the context of this meeting, as well as Norway's undertaking to provide written responses to some additional specific questions as soon as possible. In conclusion, it is my sense that Members fully acknowledged Norway's success in prudently managing an economy richly endowed with natural resources. Appreciation was also expressed for the enlightened policy Norway follows with regard to support to developing, including least developed countries. There was recognition of the liberalization and deregulation effort undertaken by Norway since its last Trade Policy Review and encouragement for it to continue in this path. In this regard, several Members believed that liberalization should also include the agricultural sector both to bring it in line with Norway's policies in other areas, as well as to strengthen the multilateral trading system as a whole. __________ -  PAGE 2 - %(j’†‘“”š›œŸ ЂЃ§§љ§§іяьячяьі§0JImH0JI j0JIUmH 565&'(Uij‘’ЄЅЅІФ Х Z [ #$jk˜-Y~§њ§§їїїїїї§§§§§§§§§§§§ѕяѕѕѕ„ „0§$$&'(Uij‘’ЄЅЅІФ Х Z [ #$jk˜-Y~в2f‰ИЗИ…†‘›œ ЁЂЃ§§§§§§§§§§ћћћћћ+~в2f‰ИЗИ…†‘ ЁЂЃ§ї§§§ѕѕАѕ­Њѕѕ­G$$DC$EЦ€PB†„ „0§' 0А‚.
