The ILO’s "Decent Work Agenda" is the basis for the Government’s increased effort.
ILOs ”Decent Work Agenda” ligger til grunn for regjeringens økte innsats.
As a first specific measure of the strategy, Norway’s financial contribution to the ILO will be increased from 2009.
Som et første konkret tiltak i strategien vil Norge i 2009 øke sitt bidrag til ILO.
The strategy is therefore to be further formulated and developed in cooperation with the Social Partners through the Norwegian ILO Committee, says Minister of Labour and Social Inclusion, Mr. Dag Terje Andersen.
Innholdet i strategien vil derfor konkretiseres og utvikles nærmere i samarbeid med partene gjennom den norske ILO-komitéen, sier arbeids- og inkluderingsminister Dag Terje Andersen.
The strategy will serve as a framework both for the implementation of specific policy initiatives and for the cooperation between the Ministries.
Strategien skal virke som en ramme for å gjennomføre konkrete tiltak og for samarbeidet mellom departementene.
The strategy shall be based upon the following seven action points:
Strategien skal bygge på følgende sju punkter:
Norway will strengthen its efforts to promote worker’s rights on a global level.
Norge skal styrke innsatsen for arbeidstakerrettigheter globalt.
In addition, the policy coordination in this area will be improved.
Politikken på dette området skal dessuten samordnes bedre.
Norway’s policy vis-à-vis the ILO will be further developed.
Norges politikk overfor ILO gis et løft.
Promotion of worker’s rights in other countries will be given a higher priority in the fields of foreign policy and development aid policy.
Arbeidet med arbeidstakerrettigheter i andre land opprioriteres i utenrikspolitikken og bistandspolitikken.
Respect for worker’s rights, especially the ILO’s eight fundamental conventions, will be made a criterion for assessing how to prioritize the use of Norwegian development aid funds.
Respekt for arbeidstakernes rettigheter, særlig ILOs åtte kjernekonvensjoner, skal gjøres til et kriterium ved vurdering av hvordan norske bistandsmidler skal prioriteres brukt.
Everyone who performs work in connection with development aid projects should have work terms which as a minimum comply with the ILO’s eight fundamental conventions.
Alle som utfører arbeid i forbindelse med bistandsprosjekter bør ha arbeidsvilkår minst i henhold til ILOs åtte kjernekonvensjoner.
The state, in its role as owner, expects the companies to assume social responsibility.
Staten som eier forventer at selskapene tar samfunnsansvar.

Selskapenes virksomhet må utføres i samsvar med grunnleggende menneskerettigheter, og det må stilles krav til forretningspartnere og leverandører om det samme.
The Government expects Norwegian companies to base their business on the ILO’s eight fundamental conventions, and to have a good HSE standard which ensures the health and safety of the workers.
Regjeringen forventer at norske selskaper legger ILOs åtte kjernekonvensjoner til grunn for sin virksomhet og har gode HMS-standarder som ivaretar arbeidstakernes sikkerhet og helse.
Norwegian companies must also have follow-up systems to ensure this in practice.
De må også ha oppfølgningssystemer for å følge opp dette i praksis.
A special effort will be made to strengthen the verification and enforcement of laws and regulations concerning labour standards.
Det settes inn en særlig innsats for å styrke kontroll med og håndheving av lover og regler for arbeidslivsstandarder.
Norwegian experiences will be utilized to improve working environment monitoring in other countries.
Norske erfaringer utnyttes for å forbedre arbeidsmiljøovervåkningen i andre land.
The expertise of the National Institute of Occupational Health (STAMI), with the recently established National surveillance system for work environment and occupational health (NOA), will be utilized in this work.
Kompetansen i Statens arbeidsmiljøinstitutt (STAMI), med det nyopprettede Nasjonal overvåking av arbeidsmiljø og –helse (NOA), tas i bruk i dette arbeidet.

I tilknytning til markeringen av Barentssamarbeidet møtte statsminister Stoltenberg sin russiske kollega Dimitrij Medvedjev i et bilateralt møte.
“The meeting with Prime Minister Medvedev in Kirkenes provided a good opportunity to review the status of our bilateral cooperation and how it has developed over the 20 years that have passed since the start of the Barents cooperation.
– Møtet med Medvedjev i Kirkenes var en god anledning til å gjennomgå status for utviklingen i vårt bilaterale samarbeid i de 20 årene som har gått siden Barentssamarbeidet startet.
Today we agreed to expand our cooperation, particularly in the area of security and emergency preparedness.
I dag ble vi enige om å utvikle samarbeidet vårt, særlig innenfor sikkerhet og beredskap.
We will strengthen our cooperation on notification of nuclear incidents, and just two days ago the new ship reporting system, Barents SRS , entered into operation,” Mr Stoltenberg said.
Vi styrker samarbeidet på varsling om atomhendelser og for bare to dager siden trådte det nye skipsovervåkingssystemet i kraft, sa Stoltenberg.
“During our meeting I also expressed concern over the increased pressure on civil society actors in Russia.
– I samtalen uttrykte jeg samtidig også bekymring for det økte presset på sivilsamfunnet i Russland.
Mr Stoltenberg and Mr Medvedev also discussed the positive results that have been achieved in the area of fisheries cooperation, and discussed developments in the cooperation to enhance nuclear safety in Norway’s neighbouring areas in northwestern Russia.
Av andre saker diskuterte statsministrene de gode resultatene fra fiskerisamarbeidet, og drøftet utviklingen i samarbeidet for å styrke atomsikkerheten i Norges nærområder i Nordvest-Russland.

Som et ledd i arbeidet for lettelser i samkvem over grensen, var Stoltenberg og Medvedjev enige om en justering av grensesonen på norsk side for å inkludere hele området Neiden.
This will also give Russian permit holders access to the Russian war memorial in Neiden.
Dette gir også russiske innehavere av grenseboerbevis tilgang til det russiske krigsminnesmerket i Neiden.
Two agreements were signed in connection with the meeting: an agreement on the exchange of information about the development and operation of the two countries’ border control stations at Storskog and Boris Gleb, and an agreement on establishing an exchange programme for young leaders in Norwegian and Russian companies and in the public sector.
Det ble undertegnet to avtaler i forbindelse med møtet: Én avtale om utveksling av informasjon om utvikling og drift av våre to lands grensekontrollstasjoner på Storskog og Boris Gleb, og en avtale om å etablere et utvekslingsprogram for unge ledere i norske og russiske bedrifter og i offentlig sektor.
The bilateral programme included a trip on board the University of Tromsø’s research vessel Helmer Hansen, during which Mr Stoltenberg and Mr Medvedev were given a demonstration of a joint Norwegian–Russian rescue operation.
Besøksprogrammet inkluderte en båttur i Kirkenes-bassenget med Universitetet i Tromsøs forskningsfartøy «Helmer Hanssen», der statsministerne blant annet fikk demonstrert en felles norsk-russisk redningsoperasjon.

- Tilgang til jobber med gode arbeids- og lønnsvilkår er en av de sterkeste drivkreftene i kampen mot fattigdom.
The Government has today presented a white paper that sets out how Norwegian development assistance will be used to encourage private investments and promote job creation and poverty reduction,’ said Minister of Foreign Affairs Børge Brende.
Regjeringen legger i dag fram en stortingsmelding om hvordan norsk bistand skal legge til rette for private investeringer, jobbskaping og fattigdomsreduksjon, sier utenriksminister Børge Brende.
‘The intention is not that our development assistance funds should create the jobs needed, but we will help developing countries to build an enabling environment for economic growth.
- Våre bistandsmidler skal ikke skape jobbene, men vi skal hjelpe utviklingsland til å bedre rammevilkårene for økonomisk vekst.
Education and good governance are also of key importance in this context,’ said Mr Brende.
Utdanning og godt styresett er her en nøkkel, sier Brende.
The Government will also offer more information and advice for Norwegian companies operating in challenging markets.
Regjeringen vil også tilby mer veiledning og informasjon til norske bedrifter som opererer i krevende markeder.
