‘The agreement was one of the topics in my talks with Israeli and Palestinian leaders when I visited Jerusalem and Ramallah last week.
- Strømavtalen var tema i mine samtaler med israelske og palestinske ledere da jeg besøkte Jerusalem og Ramallah i forrige uke.
It was important for the parties to reach agreement before the meeting of the Ad Hoc Liaison Committee for Assistance to the Palestinians (AHLC) in New York on 19 September,’ said Mr Brende.
Det er viktig at partene kom i mål med avtalen før møtet i Giverlandsgruppen for Palestina (AHLC) i New York 19. september, sier utenriksminister Brende.
Economic cooperation between the parties is regulated by the 1995 Paris Protocol to the Oslo II Accord.
Det økonomiske samarbeidet mellom partene er regulert i en tilleggsprotokoll under Oslo II-avtalen fra 1995 (Paris-protokollen).
The agreement will also increase the revenue base for the Palestinian Authority.
Avtalen vil dessuten bidra til å øke det fremtidige inntektsgrunnlaget for palestinske myndigheter.
‘This agreement will strengthen the Palestinian economy.
- Avtalen vil styrke den palestinske økonomien.
I hope this will mark the start of renewed cooperation in other areas, for example the distribution of gas and water to the West Bank and Gaza.
Jeg håper dette kan bli starten på et fornyet samarbeid på andre områder, blant annet for distribusjon av gass og vann til Vestbredden og Gaza.
I also hope that it will have a positive effect on the political process,’ said Mr Brende.
Jeg håper også at avtalen vil virke positivt på den politiske prosessen, avslutter utenriksminister Brende.

It is now crucial that they meet their commitments and implement the ceasefire,’ said Minister of Foreign Affairs Børge Brende.

The Trilateral Contact Group on Ukraine, which is made up of representatives of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), Russia, Ukraine, and separatists from the provinces of Luhansk and Donetsk, have signed a 13-point plan for implementing the Minsk Protocol of 5 September last year.
Den såkalte trilaterale kontaktgruppen, bestående av representanter fra OSSE, Russland, Ukraina og opprørerne i Luhansk og Donetsk fylker, har undertegnet en plan med 13 skritt for iverksettelse av Minsk-protokollen fra 5. september i fjor.
‘The parties demonstrated willingness to find a political solution at the Minsk summit.

‘It is our hope that a ceasefire and greater access for humanitarian organisations will create better conditions for the civilian population.
- Vårt håp er at en våpenhvile og bedre tilgang for humanitære aktører nå kan skape bedre forhold for sivilbefolkningen.
It is crucial that Russia respects Ukraine’s territorial integrity, complies with international law, and stops sending arms and soldiers to Donbass,’ said Mr Brende.
Det er avgjørende at Russland fremover respekterer Ukrainas territorielle integritet, etterlever folkeretten og ikke fortsetter med å sende våpen og soldater inn til Donbass, sier Brende.

The vote count and the processing of complaints are expected to take several weeks.
Stemmeopptelling og klagebehandling ventes å ta flere uker.
The Afghan security forces have done a good job in ensuring the security of the voters and the polling stations.
Afghanske sikkerhetsstyrker har gjort en god jobb med å sikre velgerne og stemmelokalene.
Even so, people have been killed and injured today too.
Likevel har dessverre mennesker blitt drept og skadet i dag også.
‘The Afghan authorities were better prepared today than they were during the first round of elections in April.
- Afghanske myndigheter var bedre forberedt i dag enn under første valgomgang i april.
However, it would be unrealistic to believe that the election was problem-free.
Samtidig er det urealistisk å tro at valget var problemfritt.
The security situation is complex and some areas in the north of the country have been severely affected by flash flooding.
Sikkerhetssituasjonen er komplisert og områder i nord er flomrammet.
This meant that polling stations were closed in certain areas.
Dette har ført til stengte valglokaler i enkelte områder.
Norway has provided NOK 102 million in funding for the planning and implementation of the presidential election and next year’s parliamentary elections.
Norge har støttet planlegging og gjennomføring av presidentvalget og neste års parlamentsvalg i Afghanistan med 102 millioner kroner.
This is very good news for world trade and could breathe new life into the Doha negotiations on a global trade agreement,’ commented Minister of Foreign Affairs Børge Brende.
Dette er svært gode nyheter for verdenshandelen og kan puste nytt liv i Doha-forhandlingene om en global handelsavtale, sier utenriksminister Børge Brende.
The decision on a Protocol necessary for the implementation of the Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA) should have been adopted in the summer.
Vedtakene for å sikre iverksettelsen av den såkalte TF-avtalen om handelsforenkling (Trade Facilitation Agreement) skulle vært gjort i sommer.
However, disagreement about another decision adopted at last year’s Ministerial Conference stood in the way.
Uenighet om et annet av vedtakene fra fjorårets ministerkonferanse forhindret dette.
The Protocol was finally adopted on 27 November, following a breakthrough earlier in the month in the deadlocked situation between India and the US.
Vedtaket ble derfor fattet i dag, 27. november etter at man tidligere i måneden fikk et gjennombrudd i den fastlåste situasjonen mellom India og USA.
‘The Trade Facilitation Agreement is very important.
- Avtalen om handelsforenkling er svært viktig.
It is a milestone for the WTO.
Den markerer en milepæl for WTO.
Now that the TFA is in place, we are an important step closer to reaching a global trade agreement,’ said Mr Brende.
Med TF-avtalen på plass er vi nå et viktig steg nærmere en global handelsavtale, sier utenriksministeren.
The Trade Facilitation Agreement is the basis for simplifying and standardising rules and procedures that will expedite border crossings.
Avtalen om handelsforenkling legger til rette for enklere, raskere og billigere handel ved at prosedyrer og regler for grensepasseringer standardiseres og forenkles.
