Foreign companies

Because of the EEA agreement, as of 1993 other companies can write insurance in the Norwegian market. As soon as a company has begun writing fire insurance in Norway, they are obliged to become members of the pool. If it is the other way around, a Norwegian policyholder wants to write its fire insurance in another country, it has to pay a fee to the pool as long as the foreign insurance company is not a member of the pool. The fee is calculated in the same way as the premium (0.012 % of the sum insured) but gives no compensation in case of an incident/accident.
