“The recent unrest in Gaza has a number of causes.
- Den seneste uroen i Gaza har en rekke årsaker.
There is an internal struggle for power, signs of social disintegration and deep despair among ordinary Palestinians,” Mr Støre continued.
Det er en intern maktkamp, tendenser til oppløsning og dyp fortvilelse blant vanlige palestinere.
“So far, it has not been possible to transfer funds to the Unity Government, and this has exacerbated the constantly deteriorating situation.

Norway contributes $5 Million to IAEA Nuclear Fuel Reserve
Norge bidrar med USD 5 millioner til IAEAs kjernebrenselreserve
“Norway will join efforts to create a low enriched uranium reserve, controlled by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA),” Minister of Foreign Affairs of Norway Jonas Gahr Støre announced today.
- Norge vil delta i arbeidet med å opprette en reserve av lavanriket uran kontrollert av Det internasjonale atomenergibyrå (IAEA), kunngjorde utenriksminister Jonas Gahr Støre i dag.
Minister Støre said Norway will contribute $5 million dollars to the reserve, which represents 10 percent of the remaining sum needed to fund the bank.
Utenriksminister Støre sa at Norge vil bidra med USD 5 millioner til reserven, noe som utgjør 10 prosent av beløpet som gjenstår for å få finansiert banken.
“We will engage in building broad international support and funding for the initiative,” the Minister added.
- Vi vil arbeide for å bygge opp bred internasjonal støtte og finansiering av initiativet, la utenriksministeren til.
Støre’s announcement came during a widely attended international conference on “Achieving the Vision of a World Free of Nuclear Weapons” hosted by the government of Norway in cooperation with the Nuclear Threat Initiative, the Hoover Institution at Stanford University and the Norwegian Radiation Protection Authority.
Støres kunngjøring kom på den internasjonale konferansen “Achieving the Vision of a World Free of Nuclear Weapons”, som hadde bred deltakelse, og som den norske regjering var vert for i samarbeid med Nuclear Threat Initiative, Hoover Institution ved Stanford University og Statens strålevern.
Conference participants included IAEA Director General Mohamed ElBaradei, former U.S. Secretary of State George Shultz, former U.S. Senator Sam Nunn and more than 100 participants from 29 countries.
På konferansen deltok blant andre IAEAs generaldirektør Mohamed ElBaradei, USAs tidligere utenriksminister George Shultz, tidligere senator Sam Nunn og mer enn 100 andre deltakere fra 29 land.
The nuclear fuel reserve initiative was launched in September 2006 by the nonprofit Nuclear Threat Initiative, with a $50 million contribution from NTI Advisor Warren Buffett.
Initiativet til en kjernebrenselreserve ble lansert i september 2006 av det ideelle Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI), med et bidrag på USD 50 millioner fra NTI-rådgiver Warren Buffett.
The NTI contribution is contingent on two conditions that must be met by September 2008.
NTI-bidraget gis på to vilkår som må være oppfylt innen september 2008.
The IAEA must take the necessary actions to approve the establishment of the reserve, and one or more member states must contribute an additional $100 million in funding for the reserve.
IAEA må treffe de nødvendige tiltak for å godkjenne opprettelsen av reserven, og en eller flere medlemsstater må bidra med ytterligere USD 100 millioner til finansiering av reserven.
The U.S. government has already approved $50 million in funding for the reserve.
USAs regjering har allerede bevilget USD 50 millioner til finansiering av reserven.
With growing interest in nuclear energy, many nations are weighing available options for secure and economic ways to ensure reliable supplies of nuclear fuel.
Med økende interesse for kjerneenergi vurderer mange nasjoner nå mulighetene som finnes for sikre og økonomiske måter for å sikre pålitelige leveranser av kjernebrensel.
“Through the Seven Country Initiative (Australia, Chile, Great Britain, Indonesia, Norway, Romania and South Africa), and national diplomacy, Norway is committed to building support for an international consensus on practical steps to support global nonproliferation and disarmament goals.
- Gjennom Syvlandsinitiativet (Australia, Chile, Storbritannia, Indonesia, Norge, Romania og Sør-Afrika) og nasjonalt diplomati har Norge forpliktet seg til å bygge opp støtte til en internasjonal enighet om praktiske steg for å støtte globale ikkesprednings- og nedrustningsmål.
This nuclear fuel reserve is one such concrete and effective step in this direction,” Minister Støre said.
Kjernebrenselreserven er ett slikt konkret og effektivt steg i denne retningen, sa utenriksminister Støre.
“I welcome Norway’s generous contribution to the establishment of a nuclear fuel reserve under IAEA auspices.
- Jeg ønsker velkommen Norges sjenerøse bidrag til opprettelsen av en kjernebrenselreserve i regi av IAEA.
This is an important first step towards establishing an equitable multilateral framework for the nuclear fuel cycle that provides assurances against supply disruptions and strengthens the nuclear non-proliferation regime,” said Director General of IAEA Mohamed ElBaradei.
Dette er et viktig førstesteg mot å opprette en rimelig multilateral ramme for kjernebrenselsyklusen som gir forsikringer mot leveringsforstyrrelser og styrker regimet for ikke-spredning av kjernebrensel, sa IAEAs generaldirektør Mohamed ElBaradei.

On the supply side high oil inventories, expectations of increased oil production and spare production capacity in OPEC contribute to a steady oil price.
Men høye oljelagre, forventninger om økt produksjon av olje og mye ledig produksjonskapasitet i OPEC-landene vil bidra til å motvirke at prisen på olje øker.
Total oil production (including NGL and condensate) is estimated at 2.2 million barrels a day in 2010.
Den samlede oljeproduksjonen (inkludert NGL og kondensat) anslås til 2,2 millioner fat oljeekvivalenter (o.e.) per dag i 2010.

Lykkes vi med dette vil næringen forbli en motor i norsk økonomi, sier olje- og energiminister Terje Riis-Johansen.
The total recoverable resources at the shelf amount to approximately 13.4 billion standard cubic meters oil equivalents.
De totale utvinnbare ressursene på sokkelen anslås til om lag 13,4 milliarder Sm3 oljeekvivalenter.
After 40 years of production, nearly sixty percent of the expected resources remain to be produced.
Etter 40 år med produksjon er 60 prosent av ressursene ennå ikke utvunnet.
