Further easing of restrictions on trade with Myanmar
Ytterligere lettelser på handel med Myanmar
The Government decided Friday that Myanmar should no longer be excluded from the Generalised System of Preferences (GSP).
Regjeringen har besluttet at Myanmar ikke lenger skal utelukkes fra den generelle tollpreferanseordningen, General System of Preferences (GSP).
The Government decided Friday that Myanmar should no longer be excluded from the Generalised System of Preferences (GSP).
Regjeringen besluttet i dag at Myanmar ikke lenger skal utelukkes fra den generelle tollpreferanseordningen, General System of Preferences (GSP).
The easing of trade restrictions was announced to the authorities in Myanmar during Mr Støre’s visit this week.
Budskapet om lettelsene ble meddelt myndighetene i Myanmar under utenriksministerens besøk til landet denne uka.
“Trade between our countries is very limited, and it will probably take some time before we see the economic effects of this decision.
- Handelen mellom våre to land er svært begrenset og det vil sannsynligvis ta tid før vi vil se den økonomiske virkningen av denne beslutningen.
I hope other countries will follow our example,” said Mr Støre.
Jeg håper at andre land vil følge etter med tilsvarende beslutninger, sier utenriksminister Støre.
The former call on Norwegian companies to refrain from trade with and investment in Myanmar has already been withdrawn.
Den tidligere oppfordringen til norsk næringsliv om å unngå handel og investeringer med Myanmar er allerede opphevet.

Russia has, despite the clear and persistent signals sent by the international community, continued to violate Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, in breach of the fundamental principles of international law concerning peace and security.
Russland har, til tross for vedvarende og klare signaler fra det internasjonale samfunn, fortsatt å krenke Ukrainas suverenitet og territorielle integritet i strid med folkerettens grunnleggende prinsipper om fred og sikkerhet.
Russia’s actions pose a serious threat to European security and stability, and clear reactions from the international community are essential.
Russlands handlinger er en alvorlig trussel mot europeisk sikkerhet og stabilitet og nødvendiggjør klare reaksjoner fra det internasjonale samfunn.
On 26 March, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs adopted amendments to the regulations on restrictive measures in respect of actions undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine.
Utenriksdepartementet vedtok 26. mars endringer i forskrift om restriktive tiltak vedrørende handlinger som undergraver eller truer Ukrainas territorielle integritet, suverenitet og uavhengighet.
The amendments to the regulations serve to implement the EU’s restrictive measures in Norwegian law.
Forskriftsendringene gjennomfører EUs restriktive tiltak i norsk rett.
Any violations of the provisions of the regulations are punishable by fines or imprisonment.
Brudd på forskriftens bestemmelser kan medføre bøter eller fengselsstraff.
The restrictive measures enter into force when the regulations are announced.
Tiltakene trer i kraft ved kunngjøring av forskriften.
The amended regulations will be available here (in Norwegian only).
Den endrede forskriften vil være tilgjengelig på Lovdatas nettsider.
The preliminary results are presented in an article in the medical journal The Lancet today.
Resultatene presenteres i en artikkel publisert i det vitenskapelige tidsskriftet Lancet i dag.
‘The results are very promising, and bode well for our efforts to stop the ongoing Ebola outbreak in West Africa and to deal more effectively with similar outbreaks in the future.
- Resultatene er svært oppløftende, både for å kunnestoppe det pågående ebolautbruddet i Vest-Afrika, og for å kunne håndtere liknende utbrudd i fremtiden bedre.
I am pleased that Norway has played an active role in achieving these results,’ said Mr Brende.
Jeg er glad for at Norge har vært en aktiv pådriver for å få til dette, sier utenriksministeren.
The vaccines study has been a collaborative effort between the health authorities in Guinea, the World Health Organization, Médecins Sans Frontières and the Norwegian Institute of Public Health.
Vaksinestudien er et samarbeid mellom helsemyndighetene i Guinea, Verdens helseorganisasjon, Leger uten grenser og det norske Folkehelseinstituttet.
It has been funded primarily by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs via the Norwegian Research Council, and by the UK-based charitable foundation Wellcome Trust and the Canadian health authorities.
Den finansieres av Utenriksdepartementet gjennom Norges forskningsråd, samt britiske Wellcome Trust og kanadiske helsemyndigheter.
Médecins Sans Frontières, the World Health Organization and the Norwegian Institute of Public Health have also made substantial financial contributions.
Leger uten Grenser, Verdens helseorganisasjon (WHO) og Folkehelseinstituttet investerer også betydelige midler.
‘We congratulate the international team that has collaborated on the vaccine trials, not least the Norwegian Institute of Public Health, which has played a leading role in this work.
- Vi gratulerer det internasjonale teamet som har samarbeidet om utprøvingen, ikke minst det norske Folkehelseinstituttet som har hatt en ledende rolle i arbeidet.
This is an important breakthrough, which will give us a new and powerful tool in the fight against Ebola,’ said Minister of Health and Care Services Bent Høie.
Dette er et viktig gjennombrudd som gir oss et nytt og kraftfullt verktøy i kampen mot ebola, sier helse- og omsorgsminister Bent Høie.
The vaccines study has been carried out in record time.
Vaksinestudien er blitt utført på rekordtid.
After the first planning meeting was held in November 2014, the process from developing the concept to gaining regulatory approval of research protocols took less than a month.
Fra det første planleggingsmøtet ble holdt i november 2014, ble arbeidet med å utvikle et konsept og faglig godkjenning utført på under én måned.
The vaccine trials began in Guinea at the end of March.
Studien startet opp i Guinea slutten av mars i år.
This means that the preliminary results are available less than a year after the first human vaccine trials were carried out; usually, a process of this kind takes around 10 years.
Vanligvis krever en slik prosess bortimot 10 år.
The field studies in Guinea have involved more than 4 000 people.
Feltstudien i Guinea har omfattet mer enn 4000 personer.
The results that have been published today indicate that the vaccine may provide complete protection against Ebola.
Resultatene som i dag publiseres tyder på at vaksinen kan gi fullstendig beskyttelse mot ebola.
The trials will therefore continue, to make sure that the evaluation of the vaccine is as reliable as possible.
Studien vil derfor fortsette for å sikre at evalueringen blir mest mulig solid.
At the earliest, the vaccine could be available on the market next year, following the necessary approval processes.
Vaksinen kan tidligst komme på markedet neste år, etter at nødvendig godkjenningsprosedyre er gjennomført.
‘The Ebola outbreak in West Africa revealed major shortcomings in global pandemic preparedness.
- Ebolautbruddet i Vest-Afrika avdekket store svakheter i den globale pandemiberedskapen.
Insufficient international cooperation was one of the main reasons for the outbreak spiralling out of control.
Utilstrekkelig innsats og internasjonalt samarbeid står igjen som en av forklaringene for hvorfor utbruddet kom ut av kontroll.
The vaccine trials in Guinea are therefore an important success story, and highlight the value of targeted international cooperation,’ said Mr Høie.
Vaksinestudien i Guinea er derfor en viktig suksess, som understreker verdien av målrettet, internasjonalt samarbeid, sier Høie.
Since December 2013, more than 27 000 people have been infected with the Ebola virus, and more than 11 000 of them have lost their lives.
Siden desember 2013 er mer enn 27 000 personer blitt smittet og av dem er over 11 000 personer døde.
This makes the latest outbreak by far the largest in the history of Ebola.
Det gjør utbruddet til det absolutt største siden ebola først ble oppdaget i 1976.
Although the number of new cases of infection has been dramatically reduced since December 2014, the outbreak is continuing, with around 20–30 new cases being reported every week.
Selv om antallet nye smittede er drastisk redusert siden desember 2014, pågår utbruddet fremdeles, med mellom 20 og 30 nye tilfeller hver uke.
‘The Ebola outbreak has been a terrible tragedy for Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea.
- Ebolautbruddet har vært en ufattelig tragedie for Sierra Leone, Liberia og Guinea.
It has caused great suffering for a vast number of people, not only those directly affected by the disease.
Det har medført mye lidelse, også langt utover de som har blitt direkte rammet av sykdommen.
Norway has therefore worked to bring the outbreak to an end, and has sought to address the humanitarian needs and strengthen international preparedness for pandemics.
Norge har derfor vært opptatt av å bidra både til å stoppe utbruddet, møte de humanitære behovene, og til å styrke den internasjonale pandemiberedskapen.
