New web portal for inhabitant initiatives
Ny nettportal for forslag frå innbyggjarane
The web portal misak.no/minsak.no (my initiative) makes it possible for residents to suggest initiatives and gather signatures.
Nettportalen misak.no/minsak.no gjer det mogleg å både føreslå saker og samle underskrifter.
If enough signatures are gathered, the municipal council must consider the initiative.
Samlar ein nok underskrifter, må kommunestyret handsame saka.
At least two per cent of the residents in the municipality must sign the petition, or at least 300 signatures must be obtained in municipalities with more than 6000 inhabitants.
Ein må samle underskrifter frå minst to prosent av innbyggjarane i kommunen, eller i kommunar med meir enn 6000 innbyggjarar minst 300 underskrifter.
A minimum of 500 signatures are needed at the county level.
I fylkeskommunen må ein ha minimum 500 underskrifter.
The new web portal makes it easy to spread inhabitant initiatives on various social media.
I den nye nettportalen er det enkelt å spreie innbyggjarinitiativ på ulike sosiale media.
However, this right is rarely used.
Dette er ein rett som er lite nytta.

Now, as the Christmas holiday draws to a close, many of us are looking forward to going back to work.
Etter ferien ser mange nå frem til å vende tilbake på jobb.
I am thinking in particular of people who suffer from mental health problems.
Jeg tenker på de som rammes av psykiske helseproblemer.
Half of us will experience some kind of mental health problem in the course of our lives.
Halvparten av oss blir rammet i løpet av livet.
Mental illness has become one of our most significant health challenges.
Dette er en av våre store folkesykdommer.
Most people know someone with mental health problems, though they may not know who they are.
De fleste av oss kjenner antagelig noen som er rammet.
It can be difficult to talk about mental health problems.
Psykiske helseproblemer kan være vanskelig å snakke om.
All the same, there is a lot we can do.
Likevel er det mye vi kan gjøre.
World Mental Health Day encourages us to really see one another –and make a difference.
Oppfordringen på verdensdagen for psykisk helse var: “Se hverandre – gjør en forskjell.”
Giving other people compliments not only feels good, it can also be an effective form of preventive medicine.
Det er god forebygging å gi andre komplimenter.
But it is often precisely then that they need us most.
Men det er ofte da de trenger oss aller mest.
We can also take responsibility for our own mental health, and seek help early.
Vi kan også ta ansvar for vår egen psykiske helse, og søke hjelp tidlig.
And we can do more.
Det er mer vi kan gjøre.
As adults, we must do what we can to prevent bullying among children and young people.
Vi som er voksne må ta tak i mobbing blant barn og unge.
An unhappy childhood can leave deep scars.
En ødelagt barndom kan sette dype spor.
A happy childhood is a secure foundation for life.
En god barndom varer hele livet.
The Government will work to improve mental health care in the years ahead.
I årene som kommer vil regjeringen arbeide for å styrke det psykiske helsetilbudet.
Our mental health services are currently not good enough.
I dag er det ikke godt nok.
We must make it easier to get help.
Det må bli enklere å få hjelp.
We must identify the challenges facing children and young people early on in order to prevent small problems from becoming big ones.
Barn og unges utfordringer må sees tidlig.
This is not always easy.
Det er ikke alltid så lett.
Some people find that doors are closed to them after a period out of work.
Noen opplever at dører lukker seg når de har vært uten jobb en periode.
They now have a gap in their CVs.
De har fått et hull i CVen.
This make things doubly difficult.
Det skaper en dobbel belastning.
There are a lot of competent people out there who are keen to work and are looking for a new chance.
Det finnes mange kompetente og arbeidsvillige mennesker som lengter etter en ny sjanse.
Employers that have done so say that their working environment has improved as a result.
De som har gjort det, kan fortelle at arbeidsmiljøet har blitt bedre.
Some 25 % of Stormberg employees, for instance, have previously experienced difficulties finding work.
Bedriften Stormberg har hele 25 prosent ansatte som tidligere har hatt vanskeligheter med å få jobb.
This is an example that others should follow.
Det er et eksempel til etterfølgelse.
We need to make sure that we have a working life where there is room for everyone.
Vi skal ha et arbeidsliv med plass til alle.
One of the employees, Mats Lien, told me that 16 years ago when he studied for his trade certificate, they didn’t use computers at all.
Selv fortalte Mats Lien at da han tok fagbrev for 16 år siden, tok de aldri i en PC på skolen.
Today, they couldn’t do their jobs without one.
I dag kan de ikke gjøre jobben sin uten.
This is why it is so important to improve the skills of adults and ensure that they are not left behind by technological developments.
Derfor er det avgjørende å løfte voksnes ferdigheter slik at de ikke faller utenfor.
Demands for knowledge are increasing.
Kravene til kunnskap øker.
The fact that Norwegian pupils are not learning enough at school, particularly in maths and science subjects, is therefore a problem.
Da er det en utfordring at norske elever ikke lærer nok på skolen.
This is serious both for the pupils themselves and for society as a whole.
Dette er alvorlig både for de elevene det gjelder, men også for samfunnet.
Many pupils fail to complete upper secondary school and risk ending up without a job.
Mange av dem klarer ikke å fullføre videregående skole.
This is also serious for Norwegian society.
Det er også alvorlig for vårt samfunn.
Producing goods and services in Norway is expensive.
Det er dyrt å produsere i Norge.
When it comes to production costs, we will never be the cheapest country.
Vi kan aldri bli billigst.
This means that we have to be smart.
Da må vi være smarte.
That is why the Government considers it so important to build a knowledge society in Norway.
Derfor er regjeringen så opptatt av å skape det norske kunnskapssamfunnet.
For Norway, knowledge is the ‘oil of the future’.
Det er kunnskap som er fremtidens olje for Norge.
I have met pupils who only got through school because of one truly committed teacher.
Jeg har møtt elever som kom seg gjennom skolen takket være en engasjert lærer.
I have met pupils who, inspired by an outstanding teacher, suddenly discovered the joy of maths or of learning a foreign language.
Jeg har møtt elever som så gleden i matematikk og fremmedspråk fordi de møtte sin drømmelærer.
Last April I visited the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim and met students studying on the master’s programme to become science teachers in Norwegian secondary and upper secondary schools.
I april besøkte jeg studentene på lektorutdanningen i realfag i Trondheim.
It is almost as difficult to get a place on that teacher training programme as it is to study engineering.
Der er det nesten like vanskelig å komme inn som på ingeniørstudiet.
The students told me that their own experience of having an inspirational teacher was the reason they had chosen to become teachers themselves.
De fortalte meg at de ville bli lærer fordi de selv hadde blitt inspirert av en dyktig lærer.
We will build on all that is good in our schools.
Vi skal bygge videre på alt det gode i skolen.
The Government will give top priority to making good teachers even better.
Regjeringen vil satse massivt på å gjøre gode lærere i skolen enda bedre.
More pupils should be given the chance to experience exceptional teaching.
Flere elever må få møte sin drømmelærer.
Those of you who are teachers should know that you are doing one of the most important jobs there is in Norway.
Du som er lærer skal vite at du gjør Norges kanskje viktigste jobb.
The future of many young people is in your hands.
Mange unge menneskers fremtid ligger i dine hender.
Those of us who are parents also have a great responsibility.
Vi som er foreldre har også et stort ansvar.
Above all, we must talk to our children about how important school is.
Det viktigste er å snakke med barna om hvor viktig skolen er.
We must expect our children to make an effort.
Vi må forvente innsats fra barna våre.
We hold our 6-year-olds’ hands as we take them to school on their first day.
Vi leier 6-åringene våre til skolen på første skoledag.
Then they will need all the knowledge that school is able to give them.
Da trenger de all den kunnskapen skolen kan gi dem.
As Nelson Mandela said, education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world.
Utdanning er det viktigste våpen hvis vi vil oppnå forandring i verden, sa Nelson Mandela.
And he was absolutely right.
Han har helt rett.
Education has also helped to change Norway.
Utdanning har også vært med på å forandre Norge
In the early 1800s, our predecessors fought for Norway to have its own university.
Tidlig på 1800-tallet kjempet våre forgjengere for at Norge skulle få sitt eget universitet.
This was vital for Norway to be able to shape its own future.
Bare slik kunne Norge skape sin egen fremtid.
This was an important step on the road to Norwegian independence.
Det var et viktig skritt på veien mot norsk selvstendighet.
On 17 May this year, it will be 200 years since we gained our own Constitution.
Den 17. mai i år er det 200 år siden vi fikk vår egen grunnlov.
The year 2014 will be one of celebration.
Det nye året vil bli preget av feiring.
The way we celebrate – with a focus on optimism, children and the future – also says a lot about our society.
Måten vi feirer på sier også mye.
I hope that many of you will take part in this year’s celebrations.
Jeg håper mange vil delta i årets feiring.
I am looking forward to celebrating our Constitution together with you.
Jeg gleder meg til å feire vår grunnlov sammen med dere.
The Royal Family has played a significant part in Norway’s independence.
Kongehuset har betydd mye for Norges selvstendighet.
It therefore has a particularly important role to play in this bicentenary year.
Derfor har kongefamilien en særlig viktig rolle i jubileumsåret.
This evening I would like to send a greeting to our much loved Royal Family and thank them for the important work they do for our country.
Jeg vil i kveld hilse til vår kjære kongefamilie og takke for den viktige innsats de gjør for landet vårt.
Ours is a country with a strong national identity.
Vi har en sterk nasjonalfølelse.
But this is a positive force that does not lessen our sense of international solidarity or affect our relations with the rest of the world.
Men det er en positiv kraft, som ikke går ut over vår internasjonale solidaritet eller vår kontakt med omverdenen.
Our world is becoming increasingly intertwined.
Vår verden veves stadig tettere sammen.
The Norwegian company Statoil was one of the operators of the gas facility in the Algerian desert that was attacked by terrorists in January.
Da terrorister angrep et gassanlegg i ørkenen i Algerie, var en av operatørene på anlegget norske Statoil.
Many people were killed in the brutal attack, including five Norwegians.
Mange ble drept i det brutale angrepet, blant dem fem nordmenn.
When the Philippines was hit by a devastating typhoon, help was needed fast.
Da tyfonen raste på Filippinene, måtte hjelpen raskt frem.
A training ship for Filipino seamen chartered by the Norwegian Shipowners’ Association made an important contribution to the relief effort.
Rederiforbundets treningsskip for filippinske sjøfolk ga et viktig bidrag.
Filipinos in Norway also collected money to help those affected by the disaster.
Filippinere i Norge samlet inn penger.
A Norwegian cargo vessel and the Norwegian frigate KNM Helge Ingstad are assisting in the mission to remove and destroy Syria’s chemical weapons.
Et norsk skip og fregatten KNM Helge Ingstad bistår når Syrias kjemiske våpen skal ødelegges.
Another of our frigates, KNM Fridtjof Nansen, led NATO’s counter-piracy operation to protect international maritime traffic and trade in the Gulf of Aden this year.
En annen av våre fregatter, KNM Fridtjof Nansen, ledet NATO-operasjoner for å beskytte internasjonal skipstrafikk og handel mot pirater i Adenbukten.
The scale of our international engagement has meant that many Norwegians find themselves in other parts of the world.
Vårt store internasjonale engasjement gjør at mange nordmenn befinner seg i utlandet.
Norwegian soldiers in Afghanistan, the crews of our frigates, and Norwegians engaged in aid efforts and in areas of conflict are putting themselves at risk on behalf of us all.
Norske soldater i Afghanistan og på fregattene, nordmenn i bistandsarbeid og i konfliktområder tar personlig risiko på vår alles vegne.
They are doing so in order to create a better world.
For å skape en bedre verden.
To protect the values that we hold so dear, values that we will be celebrating this year when we mark the bicentenary of the Norwegian Constitution.
For de verdier som vi holder høyt, og som vi skal feire under Grunnlovens 200-årsjubileum.
I wish you all, both those at home and those abroad, a very Happy New Year.
Jeg ønsker dere alle, både hjemme og ute, et riktig godt nytt år.

This will enhance the reception capacity of Greece for migrants.
Dette vil øke den greske kapasiteten til å ta imot migranter.
The centre is due to open later this year.
Senteret skal etter planen åpne senere i år.
At the same time, Norway is extending its support for a similar reception centre in north-eastern Greece (Fylakio, near the Turkish border) for a further year, until 2017.
Samtidig forlenges støtten til et tilsvarende ankomstsenter nordøst i Hellas (Fylakio, nær grensen til Tyrkia) med ett år fram til 2017.
The funds will be allocated from the asylum programme Norway is already financing in Greece, which has a total budget of EUR 20.9 million.
Pengene hentes fra det eksisterende asylprogrammet Norge finansierer i Hellas med en ramme på 20,9 millioner euro.
