Some encouragement from Norway

Helle Hagenau, of Norway’s Nei til EU campaign, will be one of the speakers at our annual rally on Saturday May 14th. She has  sent us a brief letter of support along with two useful factsheets, which can be downloaded here and here. One addresses the misinformation about how much EFTA countries like Norway pay to access theEU and the other sets out clearly and accurately the advantages Norway and other EFTA countries enjoy over EU members. Both can be downloaded and circulated – in fact, please do so! The more misonformation we can counter, the better.

Here is her letter:-

Dear friends

No to EU in Norway is determined to assist in almost every way possible in your referendum campaign. From time to time, we pick up issues where Norway is mentioned and where the remain side got it completely wrong. In order to counter these claims, we intend to produce a number of fact sheets about Norway, the EEA agreement and the EU. The first two fact sheets are attached to this e-mail.

One is about “The difference between EU membership and the EEA agreement” and the other deals with “Norway’s financial contribution to the EU & EEA”. We hope you will find these sheets relevant and useful.

Keep up the good work!

On behalf of No to EU

Helle Hagenau

Head of International Affairs
