Facebook European headquarters are in Ireland which is part of the EU. If Facebook fails to pay Norway can take them through the European court system to enforce the payment.

Facebook have plenty of assets in the EU which can be seized. More than enough cash given they use Ireland as part of their tax minimisation strategy
