Skanled – one step closer to development
Skanled - eit steg nærare realisering
The pipeline makes possible the export of Norwegian gas to Sweden and Denmark, and the industrial use of gas in Grenland.
Røyret gjer det mogleg å eksportere gass til Sverige og Danmark, og for industriell bruk av gass i Grenland.
Skanled is important for employment and value creation in Norway.

It is a sad day for Grenland, says Mr. Terje Riis-Johansen, Minister of Petroleum and Energy.
Dette er ein trist dag for Grenland, seier olje- og energiminister Terje Riis-Johansen.
The industry is shaken by the financial unrest and the Skanled pipeline would have contributed to industrial development in the Grenland region.
Industrien er hardt råka av finansuroa og gassrøyret ville bidrege til industriell utvikling i Grenlandsområdet.
The Skanled project has been important to me and to the Government, and we have done all that can be done to realize the project.

This is an important contribution to the conservation of genetic resources.
Deponeringen er et viktig bidrag for bevaring av genressurser.
Initially, accessions will be of Norway spruce (Picea abies ) and Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) which are the commercially most important tree species in the Nordic region.
De første frøpartiene omfatter gran og furu, som er de viktigste treslagene i Norden for bruk og foredling.

Fragmentation of populations, browsing, pests and diseases are other factors of varying importance.
Avskoging, beiting, skadedyr og sykdommer er andre faktorer av varierende betydning.
The oldest one, a pine sample from Tranøy in Norway, is from 1938 and viability tests still show 78 percent germination.

Nobody more active than Norway
Ingen var mer aktive enn Norge
But when the parties opted for war, there was little Norway could do.
Da partene likevel valgte krig, var det lite Norge kunne gjøre.
Now, six months after the end of the war, Norway still wants to contribute to a lasting peace that also safeguards the rights of the minorities.
Et halvt år etter krigens slutt ønsker Norge fortsatt å bidra til en varig fred, der minoritetenes rettigheter blir ivaretatt.
This will not be achieved through megaphone diplomacy, but through dialogue, action and strategic use of humanitarian assistance.
Da er det ikke megafon-diplomati som gjelder, men dialog, handling og strategisk bruk av humanitær bistand.
Øivind Fuglerud does not seem to see this, judging by his article “Sri Lanka and Norway – half a year later”, published on 15 November.
I Øivind Fugleruds kronikk «Sri Lanka og Norge - et halvt år etter» 15. november, virker det som om han ikke ser dette.
Commenting on the last phase of the war, Mr Fuglerud claims that “while Western countries (...) sought to find a solution that could save civilian lives, Norway did nothing”.
«Mens vestlige land (...) forsøkte å få til en løsning som kunne spare sivile liv, satt Norge musestille», hevder Fuglerud om krigens siste fase.
Has he forgotten that at the time, Norway was the only country that maintained direct contact with both the leaders of the Tamil Tigers and the Sri Lankan authorities?
Glemmer han at Norge da var det eneste landet som hadde direkte kontakt både med Tamiltigrenes toppledelse og med myndighetene på Sri Lanka?
Actors such as the US, Japan, India and the EU considered the Norwegian channel important for putting international pressure on the parties.
Aktører som USA, Japan, India og EU mente den norske kanalen var viktig for å utsette partene for internasjonalt press.
Through quiet diplomacy and public statements, Norway urged the parties to adhere to the rules of war.
Gjennom stille diplomati og i offentlige uttalelser, oppfordret Norge om at reglene i krig måtte følges.
“The truth is that Norway, (…) through its support for ‘humanitarian’ efforts, to a large extent is financing the operation of camps where a significant share of the Tamil minority population is imprisoned and dying,” according to Mr Fuglerud.
«Sannheten er at Norge (...) gjennom sin støtte til «humanitært» arbeid langt på vei finansierer og driver leire hvor en vesentlig del av den tamilske minoritetsbefolkningen holdes fanget og dør», sier Fuglerud.
This is wrong.
Dette er galt.
Already before the war, Norway engaged in dialogue with the authorities to ensure that internally displace persons (IDPs) would be treated in accordance with internationally accepted principles.
Allerede før krigens slutt var Norge i dialog med myndighetene for å sikre at internflyktningene ble behandlet i henhold til internasjonalt aksepterte prinsipper.
When it became clear in the summer that the closed camps would remain, we shifted our efforts towards assisting the return of IDPs to their homes.
Da det i sommer ble klart at de lukkede leirene ville bestå, dreide vi bistanden mot gjenbosetting.
Here Norway is completely in line with other donor countries, not only regarding the focus of our assistance, but also in the realisation that quiet diplomacy is more effective than overt pressure.
Norge er helt på linje med andre giverland: Ikke bare når det gjelder innretningen på bistanden, men også forståelsen av at stille diplomati tjener saken bedre enn offentlig press.
The return last month of 100 000, of what were originally 300 000, IDPs was in part due to this.
Når over 100 000 av opprinnelig nesten 300 000 internflyktninger er blitt returnert den siste måneden, er det blant annet som en følge av dette.
Although we place great emphasis on quiet diplomacy, it is sometimes necessary to speak out.
Selv om vi legger vekt på stille diplomati, er det noen ganger nødvendig å si klart i fra.
Last autumn Norway was so outspoken in its statements to the media that it triggered a series of reactions from the Government of Sri Lanka.
Norge snakket i høst så høyt i media at vi ble utsatt for en rekke motreaksjoner fra Sri Lankas regjering.
This year Norway is providing NOK 94 million to Sri Lanka, making us one of the largest donors of humanitarian aid.
Med 94 millioner norske kroner i år, er Norge blant de største giverne av humanitær bistand til Sri Lanka.
Norway expects Government of Sri Lanka and Tamil Tigers to avoid further civilian losses
Forventer at myndighetene og Tamiltigrene unngår flere sivile tap
More than 60 000 civilians have fled the war zone in the north of the country during the past few days.
De siste dagene har over 60 000 sivile kommet seg ut av krigssonen nord i landet.
But there are still tens of thousands left in the area controlled by the Tamil Tigers.
Men fortsatt er det titusener igjen i området kontrollert av Tamiltigrene.
They call the situation in the past few days, where additional hundreds of civilians have been killed, catastrophic.
De betegner situasjonen de siste dagene som katastrofal med ytterligere hundrevis av drepte.
“The Government of Sri Lanka themselves have declared a safe zone for civilians.
– Sri Lankas myndigheter har selv erklært en sikker sone for sivile.
Norway expects them to refrain from firing into or attacking the zone so that civilians are killed or wounded,” said Mr Solheim.
Norge forventer at de ikke skyter inn i eller angriper den, slik at sivile blir drept eller skadet, sier miljø- og utviklingsminister Erik Solheim.
“The Tamil Tigers claim that they are fighting on behalf of the Tamil population in Sri Lanka.
– Tamiltigrene hevder å kjempe på vegne av tamilene på Sri Lanka.
Norway has been working for this for a long time.
Norge har lenge jobbet for det.
“Norway expects those fleeing the war zone to be treated decently.
– Norge forventer at de som flykter ut av krigsområdet får en anstendig behandling.
They must not be subject to abuse, and their safety must be guaranteed.
De må ikke utsettes for mishandling og sikkerheten deres må ivaretas.
Today Norway is allocating an additional NOK 20 million to relief efforts in Sri Lanka.
Norge gir i dag 20 millioner ekstra kroner til hjelpearbeidet på Sri Lanka.
“So far these efforts have been in vain.
– Så langt har dette arbeidet ikke gitt resultater.
Both sides have chosen a military solution,” said Mr Solheim.
Begge har valgt en militær løsning, sier Solheim.
