Opening speech at the first meeting of the Norwegian Chair of the Barents Euro-Arctic Council
Første møte i Barentsrådet under det norske formannskapet
This is revealed in the White Paper regarding Svalbard presented by the government today.
Det kommer frem i regjeringens stortingsmelding som ble lagt frem i dag.
This is in addition to the NOK 50 million to secure work places and restructuring that was granted in 2015.
Dette kommer i tillegg til de 50 millioner kronene som ble bevilget i nysalderingen i 2015 til arbeidsplasser og omstilling i Longyearbyen.
The government has also facilitated an operation rest with reference to the Svea and Lunckefjell mines up to three years from 2017 which will allow more time to restructuring.
Regjeringen har også lagt til rette for driftshvile i Svea og Lunckefjellgruva i inntil tre år fra 2017, noe som gir mer tid til omstilling.
In addition, we will facilitate a development of a more versatile business within the frames of the Svalbard policy, says Anundsen.
I tillegg vil vi legge til rette for utvikling av et mer allsidig næringsliv innenfor rammene av svalbardpolitikken, sier Anundsen.
– A clear Norwegian host role based on professional leadership in relevant fields is important.
– Det er viktig med en tydelig norsk vertskapsrolle med faglig ledelse på relevante områder.
To contribute to this, changes will be made in relation to organizing and running of the research activity in Ny- Ålesund, says Anundsen.
For å bidra til dette vil det bli gjort endringer i organisering og drift av forskningsvirksomheten i Ny-Ålesund, sier Anundsen.

Takes initiative for academic freedom in Belarus
Tar initiativ for akademisk frihet i Hviterussland
Read the draft ministrial letter here
Les brevet her
- It is unacceptable to penalize students and academics in their studies just because they have used their freedom of speech, says Minister Tora Aasland.
- Det er uakseptabelt om studenter og akademikere skal straffes i sine studier for å ha brukt ytringsfriheten, sier statsråd Tora Aasland.
In her letter she refers to the arrests of students and academics during the demonstrations after the presidential election in December.
I sitt brev viser hun blant annet til arrestasjonene av studenter og akademikere under demonstrasjonene etter presidentvalget i desember.
They are in great danger of losing work and study opportunities, in addition to other sanctions.
De står i stor fare for å miste arbeids- og studiemuligheter i tillegg til andre straffereaksjoner.
This and other serious limitations of constraints imposed on educational and research institutions constitute a threat to academic freedom in the country.
Dette og andre alvorlige begrensninger i utdannings- og forskningsinstitusjonenes handlingsrom, utgjør en trussel mot den akademiske friheten i landet.
It would be very unfortunate if Belarus were to remain outside the European exchange of knowledge.
Det vil være svært uheldig om Hviterussland stiller seg utenfor den europeiske kunnskapsutvekslingen.

Norway concerned about developments in Belarus
Norge er bekymret for utviklingen i Hviterussland
"The situation in Belarus after the protests following the presidential election is still giving cause for deep concern,” said Norwegian Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.
- Situasjonen i Hviterussland etter uroen i forbindelse med presidentvalget, gir fortsatt grunn til sterk bekymring, sier utenriksminister Jonas Gahr Støre.
“The situation in Belarus after the protests following the presidential election is still giving cause for deep concern,” said Norwegian Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.
- Situasjonen i Hviterussland etter uroen i forbindelse med presidentvalget, gir fortsatt grunn til sterk bekymring, sier utenriksminister Jonas Gahr Støre.
We will strengthen our support for groups who are working for democracy and human rights,” the Foreign Minister continued.
Vi vil styrke vår støtte til de krefter som arbeider for demokrati og menneskerettigheter, sier utenriksministeren.
Like the EU, Norway intends to introduce travel bans and a freeze on assets targeting Belarusian officials who have been involved in electoral fraud or in the brutal repression of demonstrations after the presidential election.
Norge vil i likhet med EU-landene innføre innreiserestriksjoner og frys av finansielle midler rettet mot hviterussiske myndighetspersoner som har bidratt til valgfusk, eller som hadde medansvar for myndighetenes brutale inngripen overfor demonstrasjonene etter presidentvalget.
“We do not wish to target the Belarusian people.
- Vi ønsker ikke å ramme det hviterussiske folk.
On the contrary, we will increase our support for civil society and students in Belarus,” Mr Støre explained.
Vi vil styrke vår støtte til det hviterussiske sivile samfunn og studenter, understreker Støre.
Norway will increase support for project cooperation with Belarus from NOK 15 million in 2010 to NOK 20 million in 2011.
Norge øker støtten til prosjektsamarbeid med Hviterussland fra 15 millioner i 2010 til 20 millioner kroner i 2011.
Norway will continue to support Belarusian civil society through project cooperation involving Norwegian NGOs.
Norge vil fortsette å støtte det sivile samfunnet i Hviterussland gjennom prosjektsamarbeid med norske organisasjoner.
Norway has also announced a new contribution to the European Humanities University (EHU), which was closed by the Belarusian authorities in 2004 and has re-located to Vilnius.
Norge lanserer også et nytt bidrag til det hviterussiske universitetet European Humanities University (EHU), som i 2004 ble stengt av hviterussiske myndigheter og da flyttet til Vilnius.
This is the only Belarusian university that is committed to academic freedom and encourages students to think creatively and critically.
Universitetet er det eneste hviterussiske universitetet som baserer sin undervisning på akademisk frihet og der studentene stimuleres til kreativ og kritisk tenkning.
“It is vitally important that Belarusian students are given the opportunity to develop such skills, which are of fundamental importance in a democratic society.
- Det er viktig at hviterussiske ungdommer får mulighet til å utvikle slike ferdigheter, som er helt grunnleggende i et demokratisk samfunn.
Norway will therefore provide a grant of NOK 6 million to the university over a two-year period.
Norge lanserer derfor et bidrag på seks millioner kroner til EHU over to år.
Minister of Research and Higher Education Tora Aasland has taken the initiative for a joint letter from education ministers in seven European countries to their colleague in Belarus.
Forsknings- og høyere utdanningsminister, Tora Aasland, har tatt initiativ til en felles henvendelse fra utdanningsministre i syv europeiske land overfor sin hviterussiske kollega.
Answer on questions from CDP about the terms of freedom of association in Belarus
Svar på spørsmål fra KrF om organisasjonsfriheten i Hviterussland
Foreign Minister Støre has answered a question from Member of the Storting Kjell Arvid Svendsen (Christian Democratic Party) due to Belarus' lack of progress in terms of freedom of association.
Utenriksminister Jonas Gahr Støre har svart på et spørsmål fra stortingsrepresentant Kjell Arvid Svendsen (KrF) om situasjonen for organisasjonsfriheten i Hviterussland.
Translated from Norwegian.
Datert 19.11.2009
On 31 October, I took part in a new formal meeting of the Belarusian Christian Democracy (BCD) with a view to registration.
Undertegnede deltok 31. oktober på et nytt registreringsmøte i partiet Belarusian Christian Democracy (BCD).
What steps will the Minister of Foreign Affairs take to promote freedom of association in Belarus and the registration of the BCD?
Hva vil utenriksministeren gjøre for å følge opp organisasjonsfriheten i Hviterussland og registreringen av BCD?
Norway is following developments in Belarus closely and we are seeking to contribute to the international community’s measures to promote democratisation and respect for human rights.
Fra norsk side følger vi utviklingen i Hviterussland nøye og vi søker å bidra til det internasjonale samfunns tiltak for å fremme demokratisering og respekt for menneskerettighetene.
Norway is supporting a number of concrete projects and we also contribute in other ways.
Norge støtter en rekke konkrete prosjekter og vi bidrar også på andre måter.
For example, political prisoners were released and international observers were invited to monitor the parliamentary election in the autumn of 2008.
Blant annet ble politiske fanger løslatt og internasjonale observatører ble invitert til parlamentsvalget høsten 2008.
The fact that restrictions are in principle being continued reflects the fact that the situation in the country is still considered unacceptable.
At restriksjonene i prinsippet opprettholdes, er uttrykk for at situasjonen i landet fremdeles vurderes som kritikkverdig.
This is also the message we convey in our own dialogue with the Belarusian authorities.
Dette er et budskap vi formidler også i vår egen dialog med hviterussiske myndigheter.
This view is shared by like-minded countries.
Dette er et syn som deles av nærstående land.
Therefore, Belarus’ request for full membership of the Council of Baltic Sea States has not been fulfilled, but the country has been granted observer status.
Således er et hviterussisk ønske om fullt medlemskap i Østersjørådet ikke blitt imøtekommet, men landet er innvilget observatørstatus.
We welcome the Belarusian authorities’ wish for closer cooperation with the rest of Europe, and we underline that Belarus will receive encouraging signals regarding integration and cooperation if developments progress in the right direction.
Vi hilser velkommen hviterussiske myndigheters ønske om tettere samarbeid med resten av Europa, og vi vektlegger at Hviterussland også får oppmuntrede signaler om integrasjon og samarbeid dersom utviklingen går i riktig retning.
Initiatives from the Nordic Council of Ministers and the Nordic Council are relevant in this connection.
Initiativer fra Nordisk Ministerråd og Nordisk Råd spiller en rolle i denne sammenheng.
At the same time, this must not undermine the requirement for democratisation and respect for fundamental human rights, including freedom of association.
Samtidig må ikke dette føre til at vi svekker kravet om demokratisering og respekt for grunnleggende menneskerettigheter, herunder organisasjonsfrihet.
The opportunity to register political parties is, of course, an important part of this picture.
Politiske partiers adgang til å registrere seg er selvsagt en viktig del av dette bildet.
Parliamentary election in Belarus neither free nor fair
Parlamentsvalg i Hviterussland ikke fritt og rettferdig
“It is deeply regrettable that the parliamentary election in Belarus on 23 September failed to live up to international democratic standards,” said Minister of Foreign Affairs Espen Barth Eide.
- Det er svært beklagelig at parlamentsvalget i Hviterussland 23. september ikke levde opp til internasjonale demokratiske standarder, sier utenriksminister Espen Barth Eide.
While some opposition parties boycotted the election in protest against conditions in the country, other opposition candidates were denied the opportunity to stand.
Mens deler av opposisjonen trakk seg fra valget i protest mot forholdene i landet, ble mange andre nektet å stille til valg.
“There was no real election campaign in the country and the outcome of the election seems to have been largely decided before polling day.
- Fraværet av valgkamp i landet har vært påfallende og valgresultatet ser ut til i stor grad å ha vært avgjort før valgdagen.
Unfortunately, because of the parliament’s lack of political influence, interest in the election among the population appears to have been low,” said Mr Eide.
Parlamentets manglende politiske innflytelse gjør at det dessverre ser ut til å ha vært lav interesse for valget i befolkningen, sier Eide.
Norway provides substantial funding to support democracy building in Belarus.
Norge gir betydelig støtte til demokratiutvikling i Hviterussland.
Norway provided six election observers (two long-term and four short-term observers), as well as a representative from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) Parliamentary Assembly.
Norge har derfor bidratt med seks valgobservatører (to langtids- og fire korttidsobservatører), samt en representant fra parlamentarikerforsamlingen til Organisasjonen for Sikkerhet og Samarbeid i Europa (OSSE).
“It is encouraging that the OSCE was invited to observe the election and that the observers were able to carry out their duties in the weeks leading up to the election.
- Det er positivt at OSSE ble invitert til å observere valget og at de har fått utføre jobben sin i ukene før valget.
However, there is every indication that the new parliament will not contain a single opposition politician, which is very regrettable,” said Mr Eide.
Dette er svært beklagelig, sier utenriksminister Eide.
One of the many opposition politicians affected was Aliaksandr Milinkevich.
Én av de mange som ble rammet var opposisjonspolitikeren Aliaksandr Milinkevich.
Moreover, six students and staff members from the European Humanities University, the Belarusian university in exile, are reported to have been detained by the Belarusian police today.
Videre skal seks studenter og ansatte fra det hviterussiske eksiluniversitetet European Humaniaties University ha blitt anholdt av hviterussisk politi i dag.
According to the EHU, they had been participating in the election observation and had been discussing their findings when they were detained.
I følge EHUs hadde de deltatt i valgobservasjon og diskuterte sine observasjoner da de ble anholdt.
“We would like to welcome Belarus as an equal partner in Europe, but for that to happen Belarus must comply with its international obligations to respect human rights and democracy.
- Vi ønsker Hviterussland velkommen som en likeverdig partner i Europa, men da må landet leve opp til sine internasjonale forpliktelser for menneskerettigheter og demokrati.
At present, Belarus falls far short of its obligations, which deeply concerns me.
Dagens Hviterussland ligger langt unna å oppfylle dette, noe som bekymrer meg sterkt.
We demand the immediate release and rehabilitation of all political prisoners in Belarus.
Vi stiller krav om at alle politiske fanger i landet umiddelbart løslates og rehabiliteres.
We will continue to support civil society and democratic forces in the country,” said Mr Eide.
Vi fortsetter vår støtte til sivilt samfunn og demokratiske krefter i landet, sier Eide.
Norway aligns itself with EU decision to extend restrictive measures against Belarus
Norge slutter seg til utvidede EU-sanksjoner mot Hviterussland
The situation in Belarus continues to give cause for grave concern,” said Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.
– Utviklingen i Hviterussland gir fortsatt grunn til sterk uro, sier utenriksminister Jonas Gahr Støre.
“The sentences against leading opposition politicians and others who took part in the demonstrations after the presidential election are a step in the wrong direction,” said Mr Støre.
- Dommene mot ledende opposisjonspolitikere og andre som deltok i demonstrasjonene etter presidentvalget er et skritt i feil retning, sier utenriksministeren.
In the wake of the court proceedings and sentences in recent weeks against opposition politicians and others who took part in the protests after the presidential election, the EU has decided to extend the measures to include an additional 13 officials.
I kjølvannet av de siste ukenes rettssaker og dommer mot opposisjonspolitikere og andre som deltok i demonstrasjonene etter presidentvalget, har EU besluttet å utvide tiltakene til å omfatte ytterligere 13 myndighetspersoner.
Norway will extend its measures correspondingly.
Norge utvider sine tiltak tilsvarende.
The measures involve a ban on their entering the EU and Norway and a freeze on their financial assets.
Tiltakene består i innreiseforbud og frys av finansielle midler.
“I am very concerned about the recent charges and verdicts against Andrey Sannikaw and other representatives of the opposition, activists and civil society actors.
- Den siste tidens tiltaler og dommer mot Andrey Sannikaw og andre representanter for opposisjonen, aktivister og det sivile samfunnet gjør meg dypt bekymret.
I call on the Belarusian authorities once more to release all political prisoners,” said Mr Støre.
Jeg appellerer igjen til hviterussiske myndigheter om å frigi alle som holdes fengslet på politisk grunnlag, sier Støre.

Benefit Sharing Fund strengthened by almost NOK 700,000
Benefit Sharing fondet styrket med nær 700 000 kroner
Norway has played an active role in both the work of formulating the treaty and its implementation.
Norge har spilt en aktiv rolle, både i arbeidet med å utforme trakten og i gjennomføringen av den.
Among other things, the treaty is a foundation for the establishment of the Svalbard Global Seed Vault.
Traktaten er blant annet et fundament for opprettelsen av Svalbard Globale frøhvelv.
Norway makes a financial contribution to the fund equivalent to 0.1 per cent of the value of sales of seeds in Norway - or approximately NOK 600,000 - 700,000 a year.
Norge bidrar økonomisk til Fondet med et beløp som tilsvarer 0,1 prosent av omsetningen av frø i Norge – eller rundt 600 000 - 700 000 kroner i året.
The contribution is financed from the Ministry of Agriculture and Food's budget.
Bidraget finansieres over Landbruks- og matdepartementets budsjett.
"The world's food production must be doubled over the course of the next 40 years if we are to meet the global population increase and prevent famine.
- Verdens matproduksjon må dobles i løpet av de kommende 40 årene for å møte den globale befolkningsveksten og forhindre sult.
