‘Norway is a trading nation.
- Norge er en handelsnasjon.
Few countries are more dependent on foreign trade than we are.
Få land er mer avhengige av handel med utlandet enn Norge.
Today, the Government is presenting a white paper on its work to secure increased market access for Norwegian companies and better predictability for exports of goods and services and for investments,’ said Minister of Foreign Affairs Børge Brende.
Regjeringen legger i dag fram en stortingsmelding om arbeidet med å sikre norske bedrifter økt markedsadgang og bedre forutsigbarhet for eksport av varer, tjenester og investeringer, sier Børge Brende.
The Government will work to promote freer trade and will pursue a proactive trade policy that emphasises Norway’s interests.
Regjeringen vil arbeide for en friere handel og føre en offensiv handelspolitikk som vektlegger Norges interesser.
This means helping to ensure fair and equal trade rules in today’s open, global economy.
Dette betyr å bidra til å sikre like og rettferdige spilleregler i dagens åpne, globale økonomi.
‘The World Trade Organization (WTO) agreements, the EEA Agreement and the EFTA free trade agreements are the cornerstones of Norwegian trade policy.
- Verdens handelsorganisasjon, supplert av EØS og Eftas frihandelsavtaler, utgjør bærebjelken i norsk handelspolitikk.
Safeguarding and strengthening the multilateral trade system is Norway’s main trade policy interest,’ Foreign Minister Brende said.
Bevaring og styrking av det multilaterale handelssystemet er Norges primære handelspolitiske interesse, sier Brende.
Trade policy is primarily a tool for promoting value creation and employment in Norway.
Norsk handelspolitikk er primært et virkemiddel for å skape verdiskapning og sysselsetting i Norge.
At the same time, the white paper points out that international trade can help us to reach foreign and development policy goals such as peaceful cooperation between countries and better opportunities for inclusive, sustainable development for all.
Samtidig viser meldingen at internasjonal handel kan bidra til å nå utenrikspolitiske og utviklingspolitiske mål som fredelig samarbeid mellom land og bedre muligheter for inkluderende bærekraftig utvikling for alle.
Moreover, Norway lacks free trade agreements with six of the world’s ten largest economies.
Norge står også uten frihandelsavtaler med seks av verdens ti største økonomier.
‘This white paper presents Norwegian trade policy priorities in a changing global economy.
- Med en global økonomi i endring gjør meldingen rede for norske prioriteringer i handelspolitikken.
As outlined in the white paper, the Government will:
Blant tiltakene i meldingen er at regjeringen vil:
Intensify its efforts to make active use of trade policy in its strengthened economic diplomacy work.
Øke innsatsen for å bruke handelspolitikken aktivt i et styrket økonomisk diplomati.
Give greater priority to the work to ensure free trade in seafood on the EU market.

Fase ut alle eksportsubsidier innen 2019.
Seek to safeguard Norway’s overall interests while the TTIP negotiations between the EU and the US are being conducted, and emphasise the Norwegian business sector’s need for equal conditions of competition.
Arbeide for å sikre samlede norske interesser mens TTIP-forhandlingene mellom EU og USA pågår, samt vektlegge norsk næringslivs behov for likeverdige konkurransevilkår.
Consider changes that would give further trade preferences to poor developing countries that export goods and services to Norway.
Vurdere endringer som gir ytterligere preferanser for fattige utviklingsland ved eksport til Norge.
Increase support for trade-related development cooperation, also in connection with free trade agreements.
Øke støtten til handelsrelatert utviklingssamarbeid, inkludert i forbindelse med frihandelsavtaler.

To change politics, to change societies and to have gender equality, you need three things: You need to have a realization among people about the importance of gender equality, you need to have the politics in place, and you need to have the champions to fight for the political change.

Norway is a pioneer when it comes to gender equality, and our legitimacy in this area enables us to play a leading role globally,' said Mr Brende.
Norge er et foregangsland for likestilling, og vår legitimitet gir oss mulighet til å innta en lederrolle globalt, sier utenriksminister Brende.
In connection with the Action Plan, Norway is establishing a new gender equality for development programme called 'LIKE'.
Som et ledd i handlingsplanen lanseres programmet «Likestilling for utvikling» (Like - (laik)).
'Norway has considerable knowledge of gender equality and experience of its implementation in practice.
- Norge har betydelig kompetanse og erfaring på likestilling i praksis.
In this way, we are strengthening Norway's gender equality team,' Mr Brende said.
Slik styrker vi det norske likestillingslaget, sier utenriksminister Brende.

'Freedom of expression and independent media are under growing pressure.
- Ytringsfrihet og uavhengige medier er under økende press.
The Foreign Minister is presenting the strategy at an event in Oslo today for representatives of civil society, academia and others who have provided input.
Utenriksministeren presenterer strategien på et arrangement i Oslo i dag, med deltakere fra sivilsamfunn, akademia og andre som har bidratt med innspill.
We want everyone to be able to express their opinions openly, and be able to receive and share information freely,' said Mr Brende.
Målet er at alle skal kunne ytre sine meninger, og også fritt kunne motta og dele informasjon, sier utenriksministeren.
These are three cornerstones of the effort to ensure real participation and influence on decision-making processes.
Dette er tre grunnsteiner for å sikre reell deltakelse og medbestemmelse i et samfunn.
'Access to information is a new focus area for Norway's international efforts.
- Tilgang til informasjon er et nytt norsk satsingsområde internasjonalt.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will promote openness, a free flow of information and access to the internet, and will initiate further steps to develop international norms on the right of access to information.
Utenriksdepartementet vil arbeide for større åpenhet, informasjonsflyt og tilgang til internett, og ta initiativ til internasjonal normutvikling om retten til informasjon.
Active efforts are needed to ensure that freedom of expression is safeguarded as new forms of communication and new technology platforms are developed.

There are far too many cases of harassment, intimidation and attacks on journalists, human rights defenders and other people who speak out in public.
Det er i dag mange tilfeller av trakassering, forfølgelse og angrep på journalister, menneskerettighetsforkjempere og andre som ytrer seg offentlig.
Many such attacks are never investigated and there are generally no consequences for the perpetrators.
Flesteparten av disse angrepene blir aldri etterforsket og gjerningsmennene går som regel fri.
'More than nine of ten murders of journalists in the past ten years have gone unpunished.
- Mer enn ni av ti drap på journalister har gått ustraffet de siste ti årene.
Impunity for perpetrators is the greatest obstacle to ensuring freedom of expression without fear of reprisal.
Straffrihet er det største hinderet for å sikre at enhver kan ytre seg uten frykt for represalier.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will support projects to provide legal and practical assistance to people who are at risk because they speak out, and projects to build up fair and effective legal systems,' said Mr Brende.
Utenriksdepartementet vil støtte tiltak som tilbyr juridisk og praktisk hjelp til utsatte meningsytrere og bidra til rettferdige og effektive rettssystemer, sier Brende.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is launching a new strategy today for efforts to promote freedom of expression.
Utenriksdepartementet lanserer i dag en ny strategi for arbeidet med ytringsfrihet.

In addition to the Swedish-Norwegian cooperation, Norway will participate in two US-run projects in Ukraine.
I tillegg til det svensk-norske bidraget vil Norge knytte seg til to amerikansk-ledede prosjekter i Ukraina.
These are on strengthening border controls, among other things to prevent smuggling of radioactive material, and on radiation control and monitoring.
Disse prosjektene er styrket grensekontroll, blant annet for å hindre smugling av radioaktivt materiale, og kontroll av radioaktive kilder.
