Norway to contribute to a stronger EU Emissions Trading Scheme
Norge bidrar til å styrke EUs kvotesystem
We will inform the EU of this decision today,” said Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg.
Dette orienterer vi i dag EU om, sier statsminister Jens Stoltenberg.
This is some four million tonnes less than the emissions generated by the relevant Norwegian installations in 2005, and some seven million tonnes lower than projected emissions from these installations in 2010.
Det er om lag 4 mill. tonn mindre enn utslippsnivået fra kvotepliktig norsk industri i 2005, og det er om lag 7 mill. tonn lavere enn de forventede utslippene i 2010.
The cap for Norway is 20% of the total quantity of allowances.
For Norges vedkommende settes dette taket til 20 prosent av den totale kvotemengden.
The decision is part of the Government’s efforts to establish a Norwegian emissions trading system that is in line with the EU’s Emissions Trading Directive.
Beslutningen er et ledd i regjeringens arbeid med å etablere et norsk kvotesystem som er i samsvar med EUs kvotedirektiv.
The Government considers the ETS to be a cost-effective system for reducing emissions of greenhouse gases.
Regjeringen mener EUs kvotehandelssystem er et effektivt virkemiddel i arbeidet for å redusere utslipp av klimagasser.
It also provides a predicable framework for the installations involved.
Det gir også forutsigbare rammer for bedriftene.
The EEA/EFTA countries Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway are negotiating with the EU on conditions for the incorporation of the Emissions Trading Directive into the EEA Agreement.
EØS/EFTA-landene Island, Liechtenstein og Norge forhandler med EU om vilkårene for å ta kvotedirektivet inn i EØS-avtalen.
The Government expects formal agreement on this to be reached in the near future.
Regjeringen forventer formell enighet om beslutningen om kort tid.
Participation in the ETS will not otherwise affect how Norway seeks to implement its Kyoto commitment.
Deltakelse i det europeiske kvotesystem styrer ikke hvordan vi for øvrig gjennomfører våre nasjonale Kyoto-forpliktelser.
Minister of the Environment Helen Bjørnøy commented: “We expect a formal decision on this issue to be taken in the EEA in the near future.
- Vi regner med at blir tatt en formell beslutning i EØS om saken om kort tid.
It has taken a long time to find solutions that are compatible with the EEA Agreement.
Det har tatt lang tid å få på plass løsninger som passer inn under EØS-avtalen.
I am pleased that this now seems to be falling into place.”
Jeg er glad for dette nå ser ut til å være på plass, sier miljøvernminister Helen Bjørnøy.
The details of the allocation of allowances to Norwegian companies will be set out in a national allocation plan.
Detaljene i tildelingen av kvoter til norske bedrifter vil bli fastsatt gjennom en nasjonal allokeringsplan.
The plan is to be approved by the EFTA Surveillance Authority (ESA).

Norway to host NATO conference
Norge vertskap for NATO-konferanse
Around 100 delegates from about 50 countries are expected in Oslo in mid-September when Norway is to host a major Partnership for Peace conference on the theme of defence policy and strategy.
Rundt 100 deltakere fra 50 land er ventet til Oslo når Norge i midten av september er vertskap for en større Partnerskap for Fred-konferanse.
This is the first time such a conference has been held in one of the NATO member countries.
Det er første gang en slik konferanse er lagt til et av medlemslandene i NATO.
State Secretary Espen Barth Eide will give the main address at the conference which is being organised by the International Staff at NATO Headquarters in collaboration with the Ministry of Defence.
Statssekretær Espen Barth Eide skal holde hovedinnlegget på konferansen, som arrangeres av Den internasjonale staben ved NATOs hovedkvarter i samarbeid med Forsvarsdepartementet.
“Partnership for Peace” (PfP) is an important part of NATO’s endeavours to develop closer cooperation in matters of defence and security policy with countries that are not members of the Alliance.
”Partnership for Peace” (PfP) er en viktig del av NATOs virksomhet for å utvikle et tettere forsvars- og sikkerhetspolitisk samarbeid med land som ikke er medlemmer i Alliansen.
The aim is to promote democratisation and reforms in the area of security, to ensure stability and reduce threats to peace.
Målsettingen er å fremme demokratisering og reformer innen sikkerhetssektoren, sikre stabilitet og redusere trusler mot fred.
A number of countries which have entered into individual PfP agreements with NATO have later become members of the Alliance.
Flere land som har hatt individuelle PfP-avtaler med NATO er senere blitt medlemmer i Alliansen.
In addition to the nations with PfP agreements, among them being Sweden, Finland, Russia and Ukraine, NATO has cooperation arrangements with different groups of countries.
Foruten nasjonene med PfP-avtaler, blant dem Sverige, Finland, Russland og Ukraina, har NATO samarbeidsordninger med forskjellige grupper av land.
This applies to a number of countries in the Mediterranean area, some of the Gulf states and so-called “contact countries” such as Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea and Argentina.
