11. apríl 2010 13 betur en vestrænir starfsmenn. Þegar Noor-Elden lést var hann talinn sá besti í norðurhluta Íraks en hann skapaði sér nafn fyrir alvöru með skelfilegum en upplýsandi myndum frá uppreisn í borginni Mosul norður í landi, en það var þá hættulegasti stað- ur landsins. Mynd hans af vopnuðum, grímuklæddum uppreisnarmanni með stolið skotheld vesti rækilega merkt lögreglunni þótti táknræn um eldfimt ástandið; myndin lýsti vel ringulreið- inni. Iðulega var óvíst hver var hvað? Ljósmyndarinn ungi var gjarnan mættur á vettvang strax eftir sprengjuárásir þar sem eldar loguðu enn í bílum og húsum og vart var þverfótað fyrir líkum fórnarlamba. Hann tefldi oft á tæpasta vað til þess að ná góðri mynd. Ástandið í Mosul var engu líkt; mikið um sprengingar, leyniskyttur skutu iðulega á óbreytta borgara og uppreisnarmenn myrtu blaðamenn sem þeir sökuðu um að vinna í þágu hins vestræna innrás- arliðs, segir Michael Kamber, ljós- myndari bandaríska stórblaðsins New York Times, í grein í vikunni þar sem hann minntist íraska ljósmyndarans. Kamber nefnir líka að bandaríski herinn átti það til að skjóta af löngu færi á einstaklinga sem taldir voru uppreisnarmenn, þar sem þeir söfn- uðust saman við bíla innrásarliðsins sem skemmst höfðu. Allir voru alltaf í hættu. Namir var 21 árs þegar hann tók myndirnir eftirminnilegu í Mosul. Árið eftir „hafði hann horft upp á jafn marga látna og margur þrautreyndur hermaðurinn,“ segir Kamber í grein- inni. Þegar lífi Namirs Noor-Eldeen þótti verulega ógnað flutti Reuters fréttastofan hann um set, til höf- uðborgarinnar Bagdad í öryggskyni. Uppreisnarmenn hótuðu honum lífláti; þótti ljósmyndarinn afhjúpa sannleik- ann um of.

Role Description The successful candidate will work with legal aspects related to food safety, implementation and application of legislation in related fields of work (e.g. seeds, fertil- izers, product safety) in the Internal Market Affairs Directorate.

Desirable: ● Professional experience relating to the application of the European legal framework for food hygiene and food safety. ● Post graduate degree in European law. ● Professional experience involving the institutions of the EU or the EEA. ● Understanding of Norwegian, Icelandic, or German (EFTA languages). THE AUTHORITY The EFTA Surveillance Authority monitors compliance with European Economic Area rules in Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, enabling them to participate in the European internal market. European Economic Area The European Economic Area (EEA) consists of the 27 Member States of the European Union (EU) and three European Free Trade Association (EFTA) States: Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. It was established by the EEA Agreement, an interna- tional agreement which enables the three EFTA states to participate fully in the European internal (or single) market. The purpose of the EEA Agreement is to guarantee, in all 30 EEA States, the free movement of goods, people, services and capital – “the four freedoms”. As a result of the agreement, EC law on the four freedoms is incorporated into the domestic law of the participating EFTA States. All new relevant Community legislation is also introduced through the EEA Agreement so that it applies throughout the EEA, ensur- ing a uniform application of laws relating to the internal market. The Agreement seeks to guarantee equal conditions of competition, and equal rights to participate in the internal market for citizens and economic operators in the EEA. It also provides for co-operation across the EEA in other important areas such as research and development, education, social policy, the environment, consumer pro- tection, tourism and culture. By removing barriers to trade and by opening new oppor- tunities for some 500 million Europeans, the creation of the EEA stimulates economic growth and adds to the international competitiveness of the EEA States. The successful operation of the EEA Agreement depends upon uniform implemen- tation and application of the common rules in each of the 30 EEA States. A two-pillar system of supervision has been devised: EU Member States are supervised by the European Commission; while the participating EFTA States are supervised by the EFTA Surveillance Authority. Role of the EFTA Surveillance Authority The EFTA Surveillance Authority ensures that the participating EFTA States Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, respect their obligations under the EEA Agreement. The Authority seeks to protect the rights of individuals and market participants who find their rights violated by rules or practices of the EFTA States or companies within those states. Such rules or practices may, for example, be discriminatory, impose unnecessary burdens on commercial activity, or constitute unlawful state aid. The Authority may in such cases initiate proceedings against the relevant EFTA State at the EFTA Court, seek- ing a change in the relevant rules or practices. In monitoring and enforcing the Agreement, the Authority has powers that correspond to those of the European Commission and there is close contact and co-operation between the Commission and the Authority. The two institutions oversee the applica- tion of the same laws in different parts of the EEA. The Authority is based in Brussels and operates independently of the EFTA States. It is made up of 61 officials, within which 16 nationalities are represented. The Authority is led by a College which consists of three members, each appointed by the three participating EFTA States. The College is served by four departments: the Internal Market Affairs Directorate, the Competition and State Aid Directorate, the Legal and Executive Affairs Department and the Administration Department. Lawyer - Food Safety Questions regarding the post may be posed to Mr Hallgrímur Ásgeirsson, Director of the Internal Market Affairs Directorate, to +32 (0)2 286 18 60, or to Mr Ólafur Valsson, Deputy Director, to +32(0)2 286 18 68.
