The Norwegian government has withdrawn its appeal to the Norwegian Supreme Court in the Fokus Bank case. Fokus Bank won its case before the Norwegian Appeal Court in May 2005 after the EFTA Court had given its opinion in case E-1/04 of November 23 2004 that the Norwegian withholding tax regime on dividends was conflicting with article 40 of the EEA Agreement (which mirrors article 56 of the EC Treaty).
