The progress we have made on these issues shows that we can engage closely with the EU when we have strong arguments and make use of good channels.
De viser at vi kan komme tett i inngrep med EU om vi har gode argumenter og benytter gode kanaler.
But it is also clear that our task is to respond to the initiatives taken by the EU and do what we can to safeguard Norwegian interests and gain acceptance for our views.
Men de viser også at oppgaven handler om å svare på initiativ som kommer fra EU og gjøre det vi kan for å ivareta norske interesser og påvirke med våre syn.

China and Norway have common interests in a well-functioning rules-based multilateral trading system.
Kina og Norge har felles interesser i et velfungerende regelbasert multilateralt handelssystem.
This is important for a healthy and sustainable global economy.
Dette er viktig for en sunn og bærekraftig verdensøkonomi.
A modernization and customization of the treaty, especially to avoid double taxation, would further promote trade and investments between China and Norway," says Jensen.
En modernisering og tilpasning av skatteavtalen, særlig for å unngå dobbeltbeskatning, vil fremme ytterligere handel og investeringer mellom våre nasjoner, sier Jensen.

Assessment of effects on the activity on the NCS
Vurdering av virkninger for virksomheten på norsk sokkel
- In the government’s view, the merger will not reduce value creation on the NCS, says Odd Roger Enoksen, Minister of Petroleum and Energy.
-Det er regjeringens vurdering at sammenslåingen mellom Statoil og Hydro ikke vil føre til redusert verdiskaping på norsk sokkel.
The merged StatoilHydro company will have its principal business on the NCS for the foreseeable future, and will have a strong self-interest in developing and operating this business in the best possible way.
Det sammenslåtte selskapet StatoilHydro vil i uoverskuelig fremtid ha sin hovedvirksomhet på norsk sokkel, og derfor ha en sterk egeninteresse i å utvikle og drive denne virksomheten best mulig.
Statoil and Hydro have both been important companies in the development of Norway’s petroleum activity, and have developed and operated most of the big Norwegian oil and gas fields.
Statoil og Hydro har begge vært viktige selskaper i utviklingen av norsk petroleumsvirksomhet, og har stått for utbygging og drift av de fleste store norske olje- og gassfeltene.
The result of the merger is that the two biggest players on the NCS will be united into one big enterprise, with considerable holdings in oil and gas fields.
Sammenslåingen fører til at de to største aktørene på sokkelen samles til én stor, med betydelige deltakerandeler i olje- og gassfeltene.
Statoil currently operates 62 per cent of Norway’s petroleum production.
Statoil opererer i dag 62 prosent av petroleumsproduksjonen.
After the merger, StatoilHydro will operate 80 per cent of this output.
Sammenslåingen fører til at StatoilHydro vil operere 80 prosent av petroleumsproduksjonen.
In the proposition, the government has therefore considered whether the company will be so large that conditions ought to set to reduce its ownership interests or number of operatorships on the NCS.
Regjeringen har derfor i stortingsproposisjonen vurdert om selskapet blir så stort at det er grunnlag for å stille vilkår som reduserer selskapets eierskap eller antall operatørskap på sokkelen.
The object would be to strengthen other players in an endeavour to compensate for the important role which Hydro has played as licensee and operator.
Formålet ville være å styrke andre aktører for å søke å kompensere for den viktige rollen Hydro har i så fall hatt som rettighetshaver og operatør.
- We have balanced the possible positive effects of setting such conditions against their costs and risk, and have concluded that they would not contribute to improved resource management or value creation from the petroleum activity, says Mr Enoksen.
-Vi har vurdert mulige positive effekter ved slike vilkår opp mot kostnader og risiki, og har konkludert med at slike vilkår ikke vil bidra til forbedret ressursforvaltning eller økt verdiskaping fra petroleumsvirksomheten, sier statsråd Enoksen.
StatoilHydro will be a major customer, both as licensee and as operator.
StatoilHydro vil bli en stor kunde både som rettighetshaver og operatør.
The company is expected to encourage broad competition and diversity among suppliers in order to secure good and efficient solutions.
Selskapet forventes å stimulere til bred konkurranse og mangfold blant leverandørene for å sikre gode og effektive løsninger.
The Ministry of Petroleum and Energy will closely monitor how StatoilHydro operates in relation to the supplies industry and assess the possible effects which the merger might have for this sector.
Olje- og energidepartementet vil følge nøye med på hvordan StatoilHydro opererer i forhold til leverandørindustrien og vurdere eventuelle effekter sammenslåingen kan få for leverandørindustrien.
The government will also pay special attention to the way StatoilHydro continues its significant engagement in research and development (R&D).
Regjeringen er også spesielt oppmerksom på hvordan StatoilHydro vil videreføre sitt betydelige engasjement i forskning og utvikling (FoU).
The petroleum industry is a high-tech business in which research and the development of new technology are important for success.
Petroleumsnæringen er en høyteknologisk næring hvor forskning og utvikling på ny teknologi er viktig for å lykkes.
StatoilHydro will therefore have a strong self-interest in maintaining a significant commitment to R&D.
StatoilHydro vil derfor ha sterk egeninteresse i fortsatt å satse betydelig på FoU.
- The government expects that the company maintains its research and development activity in Norway in line with what the two companies each have today, says Mr Enoksen.
-Regjeringen forventer at selskapet opprettholder forsknings- og utviklingsaktiviteten i Norge på linje med det selskapene har hver for seg i dag, sier olje- og energiministeren.
Parts of the NCS are in a mature phase, where key challenges are to increase recovery and operate fields as efficiently as possible.
Deler av sokkelen befinner seg i en moden fase hvor sentrale utfordringer er å øke utvinningen og drive feltene mest mulig effektivt.
StatoilHydro will be a key operator of large fields such as Statfjord, Gullfaks, Snorre, Oseberg and Troll.
StatoilHydro vil være en sentral driftsoperatør på de store feltene som blant annet Statfjord, Gullfaks, Snorre, Oseberg og Troll.
These are large and complicated fields in the tail production phase*.
Disse feltene er store og kompliserte felter som er i den såkalte haleproduksjonsfasen*.
The company will also be important in the further exploration of the frontier areas.
I tillegg vil selskapet også være viktig i den videre utforskingen i umodne områder.
A multiplicity of players are involved on the NCS.
Vi har et mangfold av aktører på sokkelen.
They range from the largest multinational oil companies through medium-sized participants to a number of smaller enterprises.
Aktørbildet består av de store internasjonale oljeselskapene, mellomstore oljeselskaper og mange mindre selskaper.
This applies especially to exploration in mature areas, but also gradually to the development and operation of new fields.
Dette gjelder spesielt leting i modne områder, men også gradvis i utbygging og drift av nye felt.
New players have gained increasing prominence in the most recent licensing rounds.
I de siste konsesjonsrundene har nye selskaper fått økende betydning.
Statoil and Hydro secured 18 per cent of total operatorships in the 2006 awards in predefined areas (APA), and 38 per cent in the 19th licensing round.
Statoil og Hydro fikk i Tildeling i forhåndsdefinert område (TFO) 2006 til sammen 18 prosent av operatørskapene og i 19. konsesjonsrunde 38 prosent av operatørskapene.
This indicates that StatoilHydro will be operating a smaller share of any new discoveries made.
Dette tilsier at dersom det i årene fremover gjøres funn, vil StatoilHydro være operatør for en mindre andel av disse.
In other words, the trend is towards an increasing number of licensees and operators on the NCS.
Utviklingen går med andre ord mot et økende mangfold av rettighetshavere og operatører på norsk kontinentalsokkel.
The government believes that several factors indicate that StatoilHydro will operate in accordance with good management of Norway’s petroleum resources:
Regjeringen mener det er flere forhold som tilsier at StatoilHydro vil operere i tråd med god ressursforvaltning av petroleumsressursene:
The company’s business in Norway will be its principal activity for many years to come.
Selskapets virksomhet i Norge vil i mange år fremover være selskapets hovedvirksomhet.
That applies both to further operation of the large Norwegian oil and gas fields and to exploration for new resources.
Dette gjelder både videre drift av de store norske olje- og gassfeltene og leting etter nye ressurser.
A multiplicity of players are currently present on the NCS and are gradually building up their activity in Norway.
Det er i dag et mangfold av aktører på sokkelen som gradvis bygger opp sin virksomhet.
The licensing system and voting rules in the production licences ensure a balance between operators and licensees.
Konsesjonsverket og stemmeregler i utvinningstillatelsene sikrer balansen mellom operatører og rettighetshavere.
As operator, StatoilHydro will be dependent on the involvement and approval from other licensees in reaching decisions.
StatoilHydro vil som operatør være avhengig av å involvere og få tilslutning fra andre rettighetshavere for å fatte beslutninger.
Nevertheless, the merger may influence activity on the NCS, and the government will take this into account in its management of the petroleum resources.
Sammenslåingen kan likevel påvirke sokkelvirksomheten, noe som regjeringen vil ta hensyn til i forvaltningen av petroleumsressursene.
*The tail production phase is characterised by decreasing production and increasing costs per unit produced.
*Haleproduksjonsfasen er kjennetegnet ved avtagende produksjon og økende kostnader per produsert enhet.

In 1908 a Slovak literary critic said the following about Bjørnson’s early novel Arne, which had just been translated into Slovak: “If it hadn’t been for the fact that one now and then encounters names like Margit, Eli and Baard, which are of Norwegian origin, I might be under the illusion that I was reading a Slovak original.
