2 Period of validity for the threshold
The threshold levels provided
above will apply to the period starting on 1 January 2016 and ending on 31
December 2017.
3 Method of calculation
The calculation of the
thresholds is based on the average of the daily exchange rates of the Norwegian
Kroner (NOK) in terms of the Special Drawing Right (SDR) over the two-year
period of November 2013 to October 2015 (SDR 1 = NOK 10,2037275).
The value of the thresholds in
NOK has been expressed without the value-added tax (VAT) because Norway
excludes VAT when calculating the value of contracts.

[1] The Secretariat notes that the Protocol amending the Agreement on
Government Procurement has entered into force for Norway on 6 April 2014 and
that Norway's threshold values as expressed in SDR are the same under the
revised and the 1994 Agreement.
