The recent election of a new parliament in Ukraine was largely in line with international standards, but the country still faces major democratic challenges.
Valget nylig på ny nasjonalforsamling i Ukraina fulgte i hovedsak internasjonale standarder, men landet har fremdeles store demokratiske utfordringer.
Election observers reported a number of serious concerns about the way the election campaign was carried out.
Valgobservatørene hadde en rekke alvorlige merknader til valgkampen.
Moreover, the two leading opposition politicians Yulia Tymoshenko and Yuri Lutsenko are still in prison and were unable to take part in the election.
Og de to ledende opposisjonspolitikerne Julia Timosjenko og Jurij Lutsenko sitter fortsatt i fengsel, uten anledning til å delta i valget.
The situation for civil society and opposition activists has become more difficult, and the authorities are restricting freedom of expression.
Forholdene for sivilsamfunn og opposisjonelle i landet har blitt vanskeligere, og myndighetene legger begrensninger på ytringsfriheten.
These developments are posing a threat to Russia’s young democracy, and raising the question of whether the country will manage to fulfil its obligations as a member of the Council of Europe and the OSCE.
Denne utviklingen er en trussel mot Russlands unge demokrati og reiser spørsmål ved om landet klarer å stå inne for forpliktelsene de har påtatt seg som medlem i Europarådet og i OSSE.
In this context, I would like to give special emphasis to three points.
La meg framheve tre forhold spesielt.
Firstly, there can be little doubt that this situation concerns us directly.
For det første: Utviklingen er i høyeste grad også vårt anliggende.
Ensuring respect for democracy and human rights in Europe, including minority rights, is one of Norway’s core interests.
Å sikre respekt for demokrati og menneskerettigheter i Europa, inkludert minoriteters rettigheter, er en norsk kjerneinteresse.
We therefore actively promote democracy and human rights in the Council of Europe, the OSCE, the UN, through the EEA and Norway Grants, and directly in our political dialogue with individual countries.
Vi arbeider derfor aktivt for å fremme demokrati og menneskerettigheter i Europarådet, OSSE, FN, gjennom EØS-midlene og direkte i vår politiske dialog med enkeltland.
Given the deteriorating situation for human rights and democracy that we are now seeing, there is a need to intensify and strengthen all our efforts in this area.
En mer problematisk menneskerettighets- og demokratisituasjon gjør det også nødvendig å intensivere og styrke hele dette arbeidet.
The EU has become an important partner in this context.
EU har her blitt en viktig partner.
The EU institutions have a critical role to play in this context, in guaranteeing democratic standards and human rights and in promoting their enforcement.
Her har EU-institusjonene en kritisk rolle som garantister for og pådrivere i det å håndheve demokratiske standarder og menneskerettigheter.
Secondly, we must acknowledge that building well-functioning, democratic states in Europe is an ongoing project.
For det andre: Vi må ta inn over oss at byggingen av fungerende demokratiske stater i Europa er et vedvarende prosjekt.
Thirdly, all this highlights the need to support a vibrant and independent civil society.
For det tredje: Alt dette peker mot et behov for å støtte et levende og selvstendig sivilsamfunn.
Through the EEA and Norway Grants, Norway has become one of the largest financial contributors to civil society in the Central European and Baltic EU countries.
Gjennom EØS-midlene er Norge blant de største bidragsyterne i finansieringen av sivilt samfunn i de sentraleuropeiske og baltiske EU-landene.
A large proportion of these funds are targeted towards democracy and human rights issues, including the situation of minority groups such as the Roma people in Europe.
En stor del av disse midlene er rettet mot demokrati og menneskerettighetsspørsmål, herunder situasjonen til minoriteter som Europas rombefolkning.
These contributions are extremely important, and they enable us to influence the important development of civil society in these countries.
Dette er bidrag av stor betydning, som gir oss innflytelse i den viktige utviklingen av sivilt samfunn i disse landene.
In Russia, Belarus and Ukraine, too, we are allocating considerable funding to civil society organisations that are fighting for democracy and human rights.
Også i Russland, Hviterussland og Ukraina er vi en betydelig bidragsyter til sivilt samfunn som kjemper for demokrati og menneskerettigheter.
Mr President,
(Fortsatt aktiv europapolitikk)
Despite the uncertainty and unrest caused by the crisis in Europe, we must not lose sight of the initiatives that are being taken to improve the situation, in both the long and short term.
Til tross for den usikkerhet og uro som krisen i Europa bringer med seg, må vi ikke miste av syne de initiativene som tas for å bedre situasjonen på kort og lang sikt.
In the past, we have seen that crises have given rise to new solutions in the EU cooperation.
Historisk sett ser vi at kriser har tvunget fram nye løsninger innen EU-samarbeidet.
The EU is now taking new steps to deal with the economic crisis, and the result may be fundamental and lasting changes – new forms of cooperation and new institutions.
EU tar nå nye grep for å håndtere den økonomiske krisen, og resultatet kan bli endringer av grunnleggende og varig karakter, nye samarbeidsformer og nye institusjoner.
In the meantime, Norway’s interests are best served by striving to maintain stability and predictability in the European cooperation.
I mellomtiden tjener vi norske interesser best ved å sørge for trygghet og forutsigbarhet i vår tilknytning til det europeiske samarbeidet.
This means continuing to pursue an active European policy.
Det betyr en fortsatt aktiv europapolitikk.

The future helicopter search and rescue service
Fremtidig redningshelikopterberedskap
The government has now determined which criteria will form the basis for the acquisition of new rescue helicopters.
Regjeringen har derfor nå besluttet hvilke kriterier som skal danne grunnlag for anskaffelse av nye redningshelikoptre.
I would therefore like to clarify the following:
Jeg vil derfor presisere følgende:
The government has decided to acquire a uniform fleet which will consist of 15 to 20 large helicopters (10-20 tonnes), i.e. helicopters of the same type with the same equipment.
Regjeringen har besluttet å anskaffe en helikopterflåte bestående av 15 til 20 store helikoptre (10-20 tonn) av samme type og med lik utrustning.
They will be stationed on the same bases that we currently have.
Disse skal utplasseres på de samme basene som i dag.
The rescue ambition is to be able to rescue 20 people at a distance of 150 Nm from the straight baseline (“grunnlinjen”).
Redningsambisjonen er å redde 20 mennesker helt ute ved 150 Nautiske mil (Nm) fra grunnlinjen.
The straight baseline along the Norwegian coastline is defined as straight lines drawn up between any two points (the shortest) of the outermost headlands and rocks that are uncovered by the sea at low tide.
Grunnlinjen langs Norges kyst er definert som rette linjer trukket opp mellom to punkter (korteste) på de ytterste nes og skjær som stikker over havet ved lavvann.
In practice, this means that the future helicopters must have the capacity to fly between 220 Nm and 270 Nm in two hours and pick up 20 people.
I praksis betyr dette at de fremtidige helikoptrene må kunne fly et sted mellom 220 og 270 Nm innen 2 timer for å plukke opp 20 personer.
This is due to the bases lying inside the straight baseline, by varying distances.
Dette skyldes at alle basene i varierende grad ligger innenfor grunnlinjen.
As an example the Banak base is located around 70 Nm inside the straight baseline.
Eksempelvis ligger basen på Banak ca 70 Nm innenfor grunnlinjen.
The actual distances the helicopters will need to cover must therefore include that distance, in addition.
De faktiske avstandene helikoptrene må tilbakelegge må dermed også inkludere denne avstanden.
The Ministry of Justice will continue the work with the acquisition process and does not have any preference for particular helicopter candidates.
Justisdepartementet fortsetter arbeidet med anskaffelsesprosessen og har ikke noen preferanser for enkelte helikopterkandidater.
The acquisition process will be open to all prospective helicopter candidates that can fulfil our ambition.
Anskaffelsesprosessen vil være åpen for alle helikopterkandidater som tilfredsstiller ambisjonen.
Until the winning helicopter candidate has been selected, following a comprehensive tendering round, all helicopter candidates will be treated equally and fairly.
Frem til valget av helikopterkandidat er foretatt, etter en omfattende konkurranse, vil alle helikopterkandidater bli gitt likebehandling.
The Ministry of Justice is committed to procuring the best rescue helicopter for Norway.
Justisdepartementet er opptatt av å anskaffe det beste redningshelikopter for Norge.
In 1990, the Italian World Cup was played to the sound of Luciano Pavarotti's Nessun Dorma.
I 1990 ble VM i fotball arrangert i Italia, til lyden av Luciano Pavarottis Nessun Dorma.
In that same year, 12.6 million under-fives died from largely preventable diseases, and 104 million children of primary school age were out of school.
Samme år døde 12,6 millioner barn under fem år av sykdommer som i all hovedsak kunne vært unngått, og 104 millioner barn i skolealder fikk ikke skolegang.
Just six World Cups later, the millennium development goals have inspired dramatic progress for women and children.
Bare seks verdensmesterskap senere har FNs tusenårsmål bidratt til en dramatisk forbedring for kvinner og barn.
The ongoing threats to girls need special attention.
Samtidens trusler mot jenter må vies særlig oppmerksomhet.
The selective abortion of girls continues at alarming levels.
Fortsatt blir det i alarmerende stor grad foretatt abort av jentefostre.
In childhood and adolescence, too many girls are undernourished, stunted, denied education and forced into early marriages.
Alt for mange jenter og unge kvinner er underernært, blir hindret i sin fysiske utvikling, nektet utdanning og i ung alder tvunget inn i ekteskap.
This creates a gender disparity that threatens to undermine stability in future generations and must be addressed by policymakers.
Dette skaper en forskjell mellom kjønnene som truer med å undergrave fremtidige generasjoners stabilitet, og er noe politikere og makthavere må gripe fatt i.
Every year 14 million girls are married before they turn 18.
Hvert år blir 14 millioner jenter gift før de fyller 18.
This crisis is not limited to any one country, culture, or religion.
Denne krisesituasjonen er ikke avgrenset til ett land, én kultur eller én religion.
Child marriage often comes with the expectation that girls become mothers before their bodies have fully developed, which increases their likelihood of complications.
Barneekteskap fører ofte med seg en forventning om at jenter skal bli mødre før kroppene deres er fullt utviklet, noe som øker sannsynligheten for komplikasjoner.
According to the World Health Organisation, 289,000 mothers die every year due to complications at birth.
Ifølge Verdens helseorganisasjon (WHO) dør 289 000 mødre hvert år av komplikasjoner knyttet til fødsler.
Nelson Mandela said: "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world."
"Utdanning er det viktigste våpen hvis vi vil oppnå forandring i verden," sa Nelson Mandela.
We must break down the walls that prevent all girls from receiving quality education.
Vi må rive ned stengslene som hindrer at alle jenter får en god utdanning.
As their brothers depart for school, girls are often forced to stay home to work, care for their families or schooling is simply too expensive.
Mens brødrene deres går til skolen blir jentene ofte tvunget til å være hjemme for å jobbe eller stelle for familiene sine, eller ganske enkelt fordi utdanning er for dyrt.
Insecurity travelling to school, a shortage of female teachers and the lack of separate toilets also prevents girls from staying in school.
Utrygg skolevei, for få kvinnelige lærere og mangelen på separate toaletter hindrer også jenter i å fortsette skolegangen.
We know that if girls stay in school, their life opportunities dramatically expand.
Vi vet at hvis jenter fortsetter skolegangen, utvides deres livsmuligheter dramatisk.
According to Unicef, for every year a girl is in primary school education her future earnings increase by 10-20%.
For hvert år en jente går på grunnskolen, øker hennes fremtidige inntekt med 10-20 prosent, ifølge UNICEF.
Educated girls have children later and smaller families overall.
Jenter med utdanning får barn senere og får også totalt sett færre barn.
Women who attended school are better equipped to protect themselves and their children from malnutrition, deadly diseases, trafficking and sexual exploitation.
Kvinner som går på skolen, har bedre forutsetninger for å beskytte seg selv og sine barn mot feilernæring, dødelige sykdommer, trafficking og seksuell utnyttelse.
It is not just girls, though – we must educate our boys and young men to respect girls and women.
Vi må utdanne våre gutter og unge menn til å respektere jenter og kvinner.
If we do not address systemic discrimination, we will perpetuate a cycle of patriarchy that inhibits girls and undermines human rights and inequality.
Hvis vi ikke tar tak i systematisk diskriminering, fortsetter vi et patriarkalsk mønster som hemmer jenter, undergraver menneskerettigheter og fremmer ulikhet.
