Sundvolden Hotel, Sundvollen, 22 July 2012
Sundvolden Hotell, Sundvollen, 22. juli 2012
I feel very moved to be here again and to see all of you.
Å se alle dere her.
Tord and Cecilie, Who opened your doors and hearts when it mattered most.
Tord og Cecilie, Som åpnet dørene og hjertene da det gjaldt som mest.
You have made Sundvolden Hotel into a haven of solace.
Dere har gjort Sundvolden til godhetens hotell.
All of you from Utvika Camping.
Alle dere fra Utvika Camping.
The heroes of Tyrifjorden lake.
Heltene fra Tyrifjorden.
The boat heroes.
Båtheltene.
You deserve all the words of praise and honour.
Dere fortjener hvert rosende ord.
But above all, those of you who had loved ones on Utøya.
Men framfor alt dere som er pårørende til de som var på Utøya.
Fathers and mothers, husbands and wives, sweethearts, children, sisters and brothers.
Fedre og mødre, ektefeller kjærester, barn, søstre og brødre
I have met many of you during the painful year that has passed.
Jeg har møtt mange av dere i løpet av det vonde året som har gått.
I want you to know that no one can meet a mother or father who has lost a child without being moved.
Ingen går uberørt fra en mor eller far som har mistet sitt barn.
I myself am a father.
Jeg er far selv.
I have seen the burden of despair you have been forced to carry.
Jeg har sett fortvilelsens byrde som dere er tvunget å bære.
Caught a glimpse of a bottomless abyss I didn’t know existed.
Fått et gløtt inn i et bunnløst mørke jeg ikke visste om.
Sensed the anguished cry beneath the surface.
Ant skriket som ikke når ut.
Heard the weeping.
Hørt gråten.
Now I know that the grief over losing a child can eat away at your heart and soul.
Nå vet jeg at sorgen over et barn kan slite ut både hjerte og sjel.
Today Norway is pausing to remember the 77 people who were killed.
I dag stopper Norge opp for å minnes de 77 som ble drept.
This is an expression of the whole nation’s sympathy.
Det er et uttrykk for hele nasjonens medfølelse.
It doesn’t take away the grief.
Det fjerner ikke sorgen.
The sense of loss will always be there.
Savnet vil alltid være der.
But care and concern can lessen the pain.
Men omsorg kan lindre smerte.
Calm the emotional chaos.
Dempe bølgene.
Accept the comfort so many are offering you.
Ta imot varmen som så mange vil by dere.
These deaths seem just as meaningless today as they did a year ago.
Døden framstår like meningsløs i dag som for ett år siden.
All those who were torn away wanted to live.
Alle som ble revet bort ønsket å leve.
Now, after a year has passed, all you are left with are memories.
I ett år har dere bare hatt minnene igjen.
But they will be with you always.
De har dere til gjengjeld for alltid.
Memories of a life that was lived cannot be erased.
Levde liv kan ikke viskes ut.
Memories are our precious treasures.
Minnene er våre dyrebare skatter.
That can be cherished and shared.
Som kan pleies og deles.
Again and again.
Om og om igjen.
From despair to hope.
Fra håpløshet til håp.
From loss to sadness.
Fra savn til vemod.
From empathy to anger.
Fra medfølelse til sinne.
It is important to the rest of us that we are there for you.
For oss andre er det viktig å være til stede for dere.
Close by when you want us to be.
Nær når dere ønsker det.
At more of a distance when that seems most appropriate.
Lengre unna når det føles riktigst.
We realise that each individual experiences grief differently.
Vi forstår at sorgen er like mangfoldig som dere er individer.
We would gladly share your memories if you want to share them with us.
Vi deler gjerne minner om dere vil.
And help you to regain hope if we can.
Og bidrar til håp hvis vi kan.
One of a government’s most important tasks is to ensure the safety and security of its citizens.
En av myndighetenes viktigste oppgaver er å ivareta borgernes sikkerhet.
We failed to do so on 22 July last year.
Det klarte vi ikke 22. juli i fjor.
Since then our aim has been twofold.
Siden har vi jobbet med to mål for øye.
To prevent such a tragedy happening again, and being as well equipped as possible should it nonetheless happen.
Å hindre at noe slikt skjer igjen, Å være best mulig rustet hvis det likevel skjer.
Many measures have already been implemented.
Mye er allerede iverksatt.
And more will follow.
Mer vil komme.
For example, as a result of the work of the 22 July Commission.
Blant annet som følge av 22. julikommisjonen.
It will present its recommendations in the autumn.
Den kommer med sine råd i høst.
The Commission was requested to prepare an objective and honest report.
Oppdraget vi ga dem var å skrive en usminket og ærlig rapport.
We must know what happened in order to learn.
Vi må vite for å lære.
In order to make decisions that are as accurate as possible.
For å kunne fatte mest mulig presise beslutninger.
Out of respect for those who died, we will do everything in our power to ensure that nothing like this ever happens again.
I respekt for de som døde skal vi gjøre alt for å unngå at noe tilsvarende skjer igjen.
The events of 22 July have brought home to us the transience of life.
22. juli har lært oss hvor umistelig livet er.
Young lives, too, can be snuffed out suddenly.
Brått er selv et ungt liv over.
We don’t know when it will happen.
Vi vet ikke når det skjer.
We don’t understand why.
Vi forstår ikke hvorfor.
Even while you are grieving, I hope you can allow yourselves to enjoy the fragrance of summer.
Også mens dere sørger håper jeg dere kan nyte duften av sommer.
Relax in the warmth of a bonfire.
Finne hvile i varmen fra et bål.
And enjoy yourselves in the company of good friends.
Og hygge i gode venners lag.
The report focuses on five of the goals: education (Goal 4 in the OWG report), good governance and human rights (Goal 16), gender equality (Goal 5), energy (Goal 7) and health (Goal 3).
Rapporten tar for seg fem av målene: utdanning (mål 4 i OWG-rapporten), godt styresett og menneskerettigheter (mål 16), likestilling (mål 5), energi (mål 7) og helse (mål 3).
Climate change, the conservation and sustainable use of natural resources and food security were added as priority areas at a later stage.
Klimaendring, bevaring og bærekraftig bruk av naturressurser og matsikkerhet ble lagt til som prioriterte områder senere.
Unlike the Millennium Development Goals, the new SDGs do not focus exclusively on poverty or poor countries.
I motsetning til tusenårsmålene vil de nye SDGene ikke fokusere bare på fattigdom eller fattige land.
The purpose of the report is not to recommend changes to policy.
Formålet med rapporten er ikke å foreslå endringer i eksisterende politikk.
Policy development in the areas covered by the report takes place in various arenas and involves interaction between the business sector, civil society and the political sphere.
Politikkutvikling på de områdene som omfattes av rapporten finner sted på ulike arenaer og involverer samhandling mellom næringsliv, det sivile samfunn og den politiske sfære.

Proposition to the Storting
Proposisjonen til Stortinget
The Norwegian government has today presented a proposition to the Storting (parliament) regarding the merger between Statoil and Hydro’s petroleum business.
Regjeringen har i dag lagt frem stortingsproposisjonen om sammenslåingen av Statoil og Hydros petroleumsvirksomhet.
- The government considers this merger to be strategically and industrially sound, says Odd Roger Enoksen, the Norwegian Minister of Petroleum and Energy.
-Regjeringen mener at sammenslåingen av de to selskapene er industrielt og strategisk fornuftig, sier olje- og energiminister Odd Roger Enoksen.
The merged company’s board will submit proposals for a new name and logo at a general meeting of StatoilHydro in 2008.
Et nytt navneforslag vil bli lagt frem til avgjørelse på generalforsamlingen i StatoilHydro i 2008.
- When justified by the level of activity, it is important that the company facilitates further growth in northern Norway, the Minister says.
-Det er viktig at selskapet legger til rette for videre vekst i Nord-Norge når aktivitetsnivået gir grunnlag for det.
- The government anticipates that increased activity in the far north will provide industrial opportunities, with naturally associated management functions.
Regjeringen forventer at økende aktivitet vil gi industrielle virkninger i nord med naturlig tilhørighet av relevante ledelsesfunksjoner, sier statsråd Enoksen.
The government will have a shareholding of about 62.5 per cent in the merged company.
Statens eierandel i det sammenslåtte selskapet vil bli om lag 62,5 prosent.
Shareholders in Hydro will receive 0.8622 shares in the merged company for every share they hold in Hydro as compensation for the transfer of the petroleum business.
Aksjeeierne i Hydro vil motta 0,8622 aksjer i det sammenslåtte selskapet for hver aksje de eier i Hydro som vederlag for overføringen av petroleumsvirksomheten.
Shareholders in Statoil and Hydro will hold 67.3 per cent and 32.7 per cent respectively of the shares in the merged company.
Aksjeeierene i Statoil og Hydro vil inneha henholdsvis 67,3 prosent og 32,7 prosent av aksjene i det sammenslåtte selskapet.
The Ministry of Petroleum and Energy and the Ministry of Trade and Industry have initiated an independent review of the financial aspects of the merger.
Olje- og energidepartement og Nærings- og handelsdepartementet har fått gjennomført en uavhengig finansiell vurdering av bytteforholdet.
This external evaluation has not produced information which indicates that the government should object to the exchange ratio.
I vurderingen har det ikke kommet frem opplysninger som indikerer at staten bør ha innvendinger mot bytteforholdet.
