Complaint to Parliamentary Ombudsman: Slow case processing & discrimination by Environmental Appeals Board of complaints against Aftenposten, Dagbladet, TV2, VG, Addresseavisen, Bergens Tidende & NRK
04 July 2012 | Andrea Muhrrteyn | Norway v. Breivik
Slow Case Processing: Environment Appeals Board first deleted my appeal without reading it, then I was refused a case number and only provided a 'reference number'; and then told my 'enquiry' would only be addressed in August at the end of summer holidays.
Failure to Provide Case Processing: Environment Appeals Board appear to be attempting to refuse to provide me with a Case Number, in their attempts to obstruct my appeal from the public record.
Discrimination: Environment Appeals Board state my appeal is only an 'enquiry' and my 'enquiry' will only be addressed in August and refuse to confirm whether their 'summer holiday policy' is applicable to all complainants, or only my complaint; also refuse to put a public notice on their website stating their 'summer holiday policy' and whom it does and does not apply to.

The Media Publications were requested to provide the requested information by 17:00 hrs on 11 June 2012. As of 17:00 hrs on 18 June 2012, they had declined to do so.
On 18 June 2012 a complaint was filed with the Environmental Appeals Board: Appeals of environmental information.
Since 18 June 2012 I have been trying to get Environmental Appeals Board to issue me with a Case number; they refuse stating they are on summer vacation until August, but refuse to say if this is standard policy for everyone, or only my complaint.

No reasons have been provided by the Environment Appeals Board for their decision to delete my complaint, allegedly without reading it. Nor is it registered on their Inkomne Sake pages: “Saker til behandling nå” and neither on their Vedtak/Decisions page.
On 25 June 2012 a complaint was filed to the Minister of Environment: Bård Vegar Solhjell requesting the Ministry to please inform me whether “the deletion was an error; or if not: written reasons for the deletion of my complaint.”
On 25 June 2012 the Environmental Appeals Board (no name provided) responded. They did not apologize at all for the deletion of my complaint, nor did they provide written reasons for their decision.
We hereby confirm the receipt of your inquiry.
Reference no: 2012/708 - 1
On 26 June 2012 I responded requesting clarification regarding the so-called Reference Number and why I had not been issued with a Case Number.
This is rather unusual, in my experience.
In South Africa if you submit a complaint to a court; you are given a Case Number for the case. If there is an error in the application, the court clerks inform you of the specific error that allegedly requires your correction.
Yet you have provided a 'reference number for an inquiry', with no additional information or any reasons for not providing a court case number.
Is "2012/708 - 1" the case number for my complaint?
It does not appear so to me, since the case numbers of cases on your website are numbered differently; such as:
Sak: 2012/1 Sak: 2011/5 Sak: 2011/4
Sak: 2011/3 Sak: 2011/1
There is already a case: Sak: 2012/1; so logically this would be Sak: 2012/2.
Could you please clarify what "2012/708 - 1" means, what the case number is to be; and your Norwegian court process for proceeding.
On 28 June 2012 the Environmental Appeals Board responded that they were on summer vacation and would only answer my questions after the summer vacation.
Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, we will not be able to answer your inquiry until after the summer vacation. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
On 28 June 2012 I responded to enquire when exactly the summer vacation was ending?
Dear Ms. Nameless (Is that so you can avoid being held accountable?)
Secretary for the Environmental Information Appeals Board
When exactly is the end of your summer vacation?
On 29 June 2012 I filed a complaint with Minister of Justice: Ms. Grete Faremo:
Request Clarification & Response:
1. Is there any Norwegian law that provides for discrimination of due process court or administrative procedures against Non-Norwegian citizens?
2. Do courts and administrative bodies in Norway totally shut down for Summer vacations?
3. Complaint: The Environmental Appeals Board appears to be refusing me access to its administrative due process complaint resolution procedures, and the Minister of Environment appears to approve such discrimination;
4. If your Administration is not their Supervisory Body, please provide contact details of whom exactly are their Supervisory Body/ies?
On 29 June 2012 the Environmental Appeals Board provided a new reference number, with different reference number parameters than before, appearing to refer to 2008, for some unknown reason:
We hereby confirm the receipt of your inquiry.
Reference no: 2008/363
On 03 July 2012 Environmental Appeals Board responded:
Due to vacation leave for the secretary`s employees, we will consider your request in August and get back to you as soon as possible. Again, we apologize for any inconvenience that may cause.
On 03 July 2012 I responded that it was not an inconvenience to wait until August IF this was standard public policy to everyone filing a complaint to the Environmental Appeals Board; however this does not appear to be the case. I again complained to Minister of Justice: Ms. Faremo:
Request Clarification & Response:
Sounds like Norwegian Min of Justice and Environment don’t appreciate honest simple clear radical honesty language correspondence. So, for the fucking hard of hearing; we need to raise the tone a little.:
The only fucked up pathetic answer I have so far received from a Norwegian who has so much respect for accountability and honesty; s/he is too much of a gutless fucking coward to take responsibility for her decision by providing her name is:
"Due to vacation leave for the secretary`s employees, we will consider your request in August and get back to you as soon as possible. Again, we apologize for any inconvenience that may cause."
It is sweet fuck all inconvenience to me: IF I was convinced this was STANDARD POLICY; which if so: SHOULD BE BROADCAST ON THE WEBSITE FOR EVERYONE'S KNOWLEDGE. But it isn't! Why Not?
Why is there no sign on the front of Ministry of Environmental Appeals Board website saying: 'CLOSED FOR SUMMER VACATIONS; BACK ON SUCH & SUCH DAY IN AUGUST'?
Is it cause the Environmental Appeals Board is only providing service to some elite people, and not to other more inferior people?
Why is the Env. Appeals Board policy not standard and publicly broadcast?
I am still waiting for a Case Number; and the answer to the following questions:
1. Is there any Norwegian law that provides for discrimination of due process court or administrative procedures against Non-Norwegian citizens? Has the Environmental Appeals Board shut down FOR EVERYONE, or only for me; until August? If for everyone; why is there no PUBLIC NOTICE: "CLOSED UNTIL AUGUST"????
2. Do courts and administrative bodies in Norway totally shut down for TWO MONTHS of summer vacations?
3. Complaint: The Environmental Appeals Board appears to be refusing me access to its administrative due process complaint resolution procedures, and the Minister of Environment appears to approve such discrimination: Why is my complaint an 'enquiry' and why am I not provided a case number?
4. If your Administration is not their Supervisory Body, please provide contact details of whom exactly are their Supervisory Body/ies? Is it too much to ask the Norwegian Department of Justice to answer a few simple honest goddamn fucking questions?
I have not received any response.
Respectfully Submitted
