However – and I think this cannot be stated too often – our main focus for now must still be on the pre-2015 agenda and on achieving the current MDGs.

The Commission will now consider the documentation and make its recommendations as to how far out these countries’ continental shelf extends.
Kommisjonen skal nå vurdere dokumentasjonen og anbefale hvor langt ut landenes kontinentalsokler strekker seg.
The countries themselves can then establish the final outer limits, which are binding according to international law.
Deretter kan landene fastsette yttergrensene med endelig folkerettslig virkning.
‘It is a historic milestone when seven developing countries with meagre resources work together to document the outer limit of their continental shelf.

Many companies have flagged their interest in receiving oil and gas exploration licenses.
Mange selskaper har meldt sin interesse for å få lete etter olje og gass.
- I am very pleased to see that there is still great interest in applying for new exploration acreage in Norway, and that the oil companies remain confident in the Norwegian Continental Shelf going forward.
- Det er gledelig å se at det fortsatt er stor interesse for å søke på nye leteområder i Norge og at oljeselskapene har tro på norsk sokkel framover.
Awarding acreage is important in order to facilitate activity in years to come.
Tildeling av areal er vesentlig for å legge til rette for aktivitet i årene som kommer.
It is positive that companies are are positioning themselves for long-term presence and value creation on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, says Minister of Petroleum and Energy, Tord Lien (Progress Party).
Det er positivt at selskapene posisjonerer seg for langsiktig tilstedeværelse og verdiskaping på norsk sokkel, sier olje- og energiminister Tord Lien (FrP).
In connection with APA 2015, the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy implemented a major expansion of the pre-defined areas of both the Norwegian and Barents seas.
Olje- og energidepartementet foretok i forbindelse med TFO 2015 en større utvidelse av det forhåndsdefinerte området både i Norskehavet og i Barentshavet.
At the deadline, the ministry had received applications from a total of 43 companies, compared to 47 companies last year.
Ved utløpet av søknadsfristen hadde departementet mottatt søknader fra til sammen 43 selskaper, mot 47 selskaper i fjor.
The total number of applications was approximately the same as in last year's licensing round.
Totalt antall søknader var omtrent det samme som i fjorårets konsesjonsrunde.
- Extensive and predictable access to attractive acreage is among the most important measures the Government can contribute with in order to maintain a high, long-term level of activity in the industry.
- Omfattende og forutsigbar tilgang til attraktivt areal er blant de viktigste tiltakene regjeringen kan bidra med for å opprettholde et høyt, langsiktig aktivitetsnivå i næringen.
APA is a scheme with annual awards within pre-defined areas.
TFO er en ordning med årlige tildelinger innenfor forhåndsdefinerte områder.
The area will gradually be increased as the geological knowledge of areas on the Norwegian Continental Shelf increases.
Området utvides etter hvert som den geologiske kjennskapen i områder på norsk sokkel økes.
In the areas with extensive geological knowledge on the Shelf, it is expected that most discoveries will be minor, which might not warrant independent developments.
I de geologisk kjente delene av sokkelen forventes det i de fleste tilfeller å gjøre mindre funn, som ikke nødvendigvis vil gi grunnlag for selvstendige utbygginger.
Therefore, it is good resource management to prove and recover these resources before existing infrastructure in connection with other fields is shut down.
Det er derfor god ressursforvaltning å påvise og utnytte disse ressursene før eksisterende infrastruktur i tilknytning til andre felt stenges ned.
