Appeals

Who can appeal?

When DEKSA makes a decision that affects the rights or obligations of one or more specific individual(s), the decision is referred to as a single decision.

You can appeal a single decision if you:

• Are a party to the case, or
• Have another legal interest in the case (legal interest in appealing)

What can you appeal?

You can appeal the following:

• Refusals of export licenses
• Rejection of a case, and (partial) refusals of requests for access to information

The Public Administration Act  has rules on how public authorities must handle cases. If you wish to appeal a decision from DEKSA, the appeal is processed in two stages:

1. First by DEKSA: The appeal must first be sent to DEKSA. This gives DEKSA the opportunity to reassess its decision.
2. Then by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs: If DEKSA does not uphold your appeal (i.e., does not change the decision), the appeal will be forwarded to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for a final decision.

What must be included in an appeal?

When you write your appeal, it is important to:

• Remember that the appeal deadline is three weeks from when you received the decision
• Describe what you are appealing
• Explain why you disagree with the decision
• Specify what changes you would like
• Sign the appeal
