Norway has therefore helped to ensure that Iran’s excess enriched uranium is replaced by natural uranium, so that the commitments in the agreement can be met,’ said Minister of Foreign Affairs Børge Brende.
Norge har derfor bidratt til at Irans overskytende mengder av anriket uran erstattes av naturlig uran slik at forpliktelsene i atomavtalen kan overholdes, sier utenriksminister Børge Brende.
The agreement between the P5+1 countries (the US, Russia, the UK, France, China and Germany) and Iran was reached in July 2015 after several years of extensive efforts.
Avtalen mellom P5+1 landene (USA, Russland, Storbritannia, Frankrike, Kina og Tyskland) og Iran kom i stand i juli 2015 etter flere års omfattende arbeid.
Under the agreement, Iran has committed itself to restricting its stockpile of low-enriched uranium to a maximum of 300kg.
Etter avtalen har Iran forpliktet seg til å ikke ha mer enn 300 kg lavanriket uran.
This means that Iran needs to dispose of its excess enriched uranium in order to comply with the agreement.
Iran må derfor avhende anriket uran for å overholde avtalen.
At the same time, Iran needs fuel for its nuclear reactors.
Samtidig har Iran bruk for ordinært brensel til sine atomreaktorer.
Norway has provided support for 60.000kg natural uranium (uranium concentrate) and its transportation from Kazakhstan to Iran, amounting to around USD 6 million.
Norge har bistått med finansiering og transport av 60 000 kg naturlig uran (urankonsentrat) fra Kasakhstan til Iran til en verdi av omlag 6 millioner dollar.
Iran has also transported unused enriched uranium fuel out of the country.
Samtidig uttransporterte Iran et kvantum med anriket ubrukt brenselsmateriale.
Experts from the Norwegian Radiation Protection Authority have verified and controlled the transportation of the natural uranium.
Eksperter fra Statens strålevern har verifisert og kontrollert transporten av det naturlige uranet.
This took place on 27 December.
Transportene fant sted 27. desember.
‘The implementation of the agreement will be a victory for the international non-proliferation regime and for international diplomacy.
- Gjennomføringen av atomavtalen vil være en seier for det internasjonale ikke-spredningsregimet, og for internasjonalt diplomati.
Norway’s support to the IAEA and the agreement on Iran’s nuclear programme is an example of disarmament and non-proliferation work in practice.
Den norske støtten til IAEA og Iran-avtalen er nedrustnings- og ikke-spredningsarbeid i praksis.
On 15 December, the IAEA Board of Governors confirmed that Iran had so far fulfilled its obligations under the agreement and that its nuclear programme had no military purpose.
IAEAs styre bekreftet 15. desember at Iran så langt har oppfylt sine forpliktelser under avtalen, og at det nå ikke er et militær formål ved deres atomprogram.
Norway’s contribution to the implementation of the agreement is in line with the efforts taking place in the run up to the Nuclear Security Summit, which will be held in Washington in spring 2016.
Det norske bidraget er i tråd med innsatsen frem mot toppmøtet om kjernefysisk sikkerhet (Nuclear Security Summit) som finner sted i Washington våren 2016.
Important agreement in nuclear negotiations with Iran
Viktig enighet i atomforhandlingene med Iran

He also attended a working meeting with leading foreign policy think tanks.
I tillegg hadde Brende et arbeidsmøte med ledende utenrikspolitiske tenketanker.
One of the key topics discussed during the talks was security in the north.
Blant temaene som ble berørt i samtalene, stod sikkerhet i nord sentralt.
I therefore welcome Canada's signals of willingness to resume the dialogue with Russia on Arctic issues,' said Mr Brende.
Jeg ønsker derfor velkommen kanadiske signaler om å gjenoppta dialogen med Russland om arktiske spørsmål, sier utenriksministeren.
Norway and Canada also have a common approach to a number of international issues.
Norge og Canada har også en felles tilnærming til en rekke internasjonale spørsmål.
Action to achieve the UN sustainable development goals is high on the agenda in both countries.
Oppfølging av FNs bærekraftsmål står høyt på dagsordenen i begge land.
Like Norway, Canada has stepped up its contribution to training local forces in the fight against ISIL.
I likhet med Norge har Canada også økt sitt bidrag til trening og opplæring av lokale styrker i kampen mot Isil.
Both our two countries also provide substantial humanitarian aid in Syria and the neighbouring region.
Våre to land bidrar også med betydelige humanitære midler i Syria og naboregionen.
'Promoting development in fragile states requires an integrated, long-term approach that uses a combination of political and military tools.
- Utvikling i sårbare stater krever en helhetlig, langsiktig tilnærming som kombinerer politiske og militære virkemidler.
'I am impressed by the way the Canadian authorities have dealt with the difficult situation and by the determination and resilience ordinary Canadians are showing,' said Mr Brende.
- Jeg er imponert over hvordan kanadiske myndigheter har håndtert denne vanskelige situasjonen og over det pågangsmot kanadiere utviser i en vanskelig tid, sier Brende.

Innlegg i Dagens Næringsliv, 11. oktober 2011
The Norwegian Nobel Committee has made its decision and announced the winners of the Nobel Peace Prize for 2011.
Den norske Nobelkomité har tatt sitt valg og annonsert vinnerne av Nobels fredspris for 2011.
The Norwegian Government congratulates them.
Regjeringen gratulerer vinnerne.
This was the case last year too.
Slik var det også i fjor.
My concern here is not the Committee’s decision or who the winner or winners are, but the way relations between Norway and China have developed.
Mitt anliggende i denne artikkelen er ikke prisen og prisvinneren, men utviklingen i forholdet mellom Norge og Kina.
The award of the Nobel Peace Prize for 2010 evoked strong reactions from China.
Tildelingen av Nobels fredspris for 2010 ledet til sterke kinesiske reaksjoner.
China has virtually frozen its political ties with Norway and some Norwegian companies have reported increasing difficulties in the Chinese market.
Kina har tilnærmet frosset de politiske forbindelsene til Norge, og deler av norsk næringsliv rapporterer om økende problemer på det kinesiske markedet.
This state of affairs is not normal, and should be changed.
Dagens tilstand er ikke normal og den bør endres.
We are part of an open world community, and there is a long line of tasks that we must work on together if they are to be solved.
I et åpent verdenssamfunn står oppgavene vi må løse sammen i kø.
It is the responsibility of the political leaders to find a way out of the current situation.
Det er et ansvar for politiske ledere å se etter veier ut av denne situasjonen.
Broad networks between individuals, the business sector and the authorities in China and the rest of the world have become commonplace, and are of crucial importance.
Brede nettverk mellom mennesker, næringsliv og myndigheter i Kina og resten av verden er blitt normalt, og helt nødvendig.
It has been said before, and it can be reiterated here: the choices China makes in relation to a whole range of areas – such as economics, distribution, the rule of law, migration and the environment – will have implications for the whole world.
Det er sagt før og kan gjentas; hvordan Kina velger på områder som økonomi, fordeling, utvikling av rettsstat, migrasjon og miljø - får betydning for en hel verden.
China never copies anyone, but it makes use of relevant experience, including from Norway.
Kina kopierer ingen, men henter erfaringer fra mange, også fra Norge.
Through our ever broadening contacts, we were able to learn from Chinese experience.
Gjennom stadig bredere kontakter kunne vi hente lærdom av kinesiske erfaringer.
And China was showing increasing interest in Norway’s experience of developing an open social market economy.
Og kineserne viste økende interesse for norske erfaringer fra utviklingen av en åpen og sosialt innrettet markedsøkonomi.
Over the years, we developed a political dialogue that had the breadth and scope to encompass difficult questions.
Med årene utviklet vi en politisk dialog som hadde bredde og omfang til å omfatte også vanskelige spørsmål.
We agreed on a great many issues, and disagreed on some.
Vi var enige om mye og uenige om noe.
One area where we have different views is in relation to universal human rights.
Ett område der vi har hatt ulike syn, er de universelle menneskerettighetene.
We respect China’s right to choose its own path of development on the basis of Chinese traditions and culture.
Vi respekterer Kinas rett til å velge Kinas egen utviklingsvei basert på kinesiske tradisjoner og kultur.
At the same time, we believe that universal human rights are just that: Universal and for everyone.
Samtidig mener vi de universelle menneskerettighetene er nettopp det, universelle og for alle.
We therefore believe that there should be coherence between national legislation and countries’ international obligations.
Derfor mener vi det må være sammenheng mellom nasjonal lovgivning og alle lands internasjonale forpliktelser.
We make this clear.
Dette sier vi fra om.
Norway’s line has been, and will continue to be, to emphasise our views on matters of principles and to raise individual cases.
Norges linje har vært, og vil fortsatt være, å understreke våre prinsipielle syn og å ta opp saker til enkeltmennesker.
Until the award of the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize, we were able to live with our agreements and disagreements.
Frem til fredsprisen 2010 levde vi med enigheter og uenigheter.
For nearly a year now, our relations have been at an all-time low.
I snart et år har forbindelsene vært på et lavmål.
Strong views on the Peace Prize are a recurring theme when China expresses its dissatisfaction.
Sterke oppfatninger rundt fredsprisen går igjen i den kinesiske misnøyen.
China maintains that the award of the prize was interference in internal affairs.
På kinesisk hold hevdes det at tildelingen var en innblanding i indre anliggender.
The Chinese authorities have also indicated that they consider the Norwegian authorities to have close links with the Norwegian Nobel Committee.
Samtidig påpeker kinesiske myndigheter at de oppfatter forbindelsene mellom norske myndigheter og Nobelkomiteen som tette.
We take these reactions and the questions that are raised seriously.
Vi tar reaksjonene og de spørsmålene som stilles, på alvor.
I would like to repeat this fundamental fact: The Norwegian Nobel Committee is independent and has sole responsibility for awarding the Nobel Peace Prize.
Jeg vil gjenta det grunnleggende: Den norske Nobelkomiteen er uavhengig og har alene ansvaret for tildelingen av Nobels fredspris.
The Norwegian Government attaches importance to guarantee the Nobel Committee’s independence and its freedom to interpret Alfred Nobel’s will.
Regjeringen er opptatt av å hegne om Nobelkomiteens uavhengighet og komiteens eksklusive ansvar til å tolke Alfred Nobels testamente.
Anything else would be irreconcilable with our tradition.
Noe annet er uforenlig med vår tradisjon.
Nevertheless, and precisely because the Committee’s independence is being questioned, we need to emphasise that the award of the peace prize is not the Norwegian Government’s decision.
Likevel, og nettopp fordi det handler om komiteens uavhengighet, må vi understreke at fredsprisen ikke er den norske regjeringens avgjørelse.
China’s reactions over the last year make it necessary to reiterate that the Nobel Committee’s award of the prize is not connected to Norwegian foreign policy.
Erfaringene fra de kinesiske reaksjonene det siste året gjør det nødvendig å minne om at Nobelkomiteens tildeling ikke er norsk utenrikspolitikk.
